About University Corporation at Monterey Bay

University Corporation at Monterey Bay centers its giving on California State University Monterey Bay, with the largest recent grant in the file going to the university for university support and scholarships: $14,506,770 in 2023. That pattern continues across 2024 and 2025, when additional seven- and eight-figure awards also went to CSU Monterey Bay for the same purpose. The foundation’s grant record shows a clear institutional role: it channels substantial support into scholarship funding, academic programming, student services, and campus initiatives connected to the university mission. Beyond the core university relationship, the grant list shows repeated support for affiliated and nearby education partners in the Monterey Bay region. The Foundation of California State University Monterey Bay appears several times as a recipient of university support, and other awards reach colleges and universities in California through subawards. This mix suggests a funder that primarily advances one campus while also using connected organizations and partner institutions to support student opportunity, research preparation, and regional collaboration. The organization’s active programs also point to student-centered support such as undergraduate mentorship, research preparation, travel, and supplies.
