    About Van Loben Selsremberock Foundation

    The van Loben SelsRembeRock Foundation makes highly concentrated philanthropy from San Francisco, directing essentially all reported grant dollars to a single beneficiary across multiple purposes. Rather than spreading funding across many organizations or issue areas, the foundation appears to provide large, flexible support to one partner, suggesting a strategic, high-trust relationship or a multi-purpose grant package (e.g., program, capital, and/or general operating support).

    Focus Areas

    Multi-purpose general operating and program support to a single nonprofit partnerUnrestricted or flexible funding (grants described as 'Various')Likely strategic or capital investments in a flagship grantee (e.g., program expansion, endowment, or facilities)

    Who They Fund

    single flagship nonprofit partnerestablished institutional nonprofitsSan Francisco-based organizations

    Giving Approach

    Highly concentrated: very few grants (3) totaling one large sum all directed to a single grantee; favors large, flexible awards rather than many small or geographically diversified grants.

    About Van Loben Selsremberock Foundation

    The van Loben SelsRembeRock Foundation’s recent giving is defined by a single, highly concentrated relationship: three consecutive annual grants to See Grant Statement in California, each described only as “Various.” That pattern suggests support that is broad in purpose rather than tied to one narrow project, with funding large enough to function as flexible institutional backing. The foundation’s public grant programs show the same overall orientation. Its active programs focus on legal services and public interest law, especially direct legal services, legal assistance, and legal advocacy for vulnerable populations in Northern California. In far northern counties, the foundation also makes exceptions for legally related programs and CASA-related work. The overall profile is one of large, repeated awards paired with a legally focused grantmaking strategy. Rather than dispersing funds across many organizations, the foundation appears to maintain a sustained, high-trust connection with a small set of recipients, using grants that can support multiple purposes over time.

    What Van Loben Selsremberock Foundation Funds

    Legal aid is central to the foundation’s stated programmatic work. Its General Grants Program awards support almost exclusively to 501(c)(3) legal aid and public interest law organizations providing direct legal services, legal assistance, and legal advocacy in Northern California. The foundation also identifies immigration and citizenship services within its legal giving, showing that access-to-justice work can include representation and related support for immigrant communities. In far northern counties, the foundation allows exceptions for legally related programs and CASA programs, which broadens eligibility beyond attorney-led service models. One program description also specifies domestic violence legal services, placing that issue area within the foundation’s legal-services portfolio. Across these programs, the recurring theme is direct assistance rather than policy-only work.

    How Van Loben Selsremberock Foundation Gives

    The foundation’s recent grants cluster tightly around the p25, median, and p75 range of about $2 million: $1,973,500, $1,983,750, and $2,010,750. That narrow spread indicates very little variation in award size. The available recent-grant record also shows repeat funding in 2023, 2024, and 2025, all to the same California recipient listed as See Grant Statement. The foundation is classified as a regular funder and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Its active grant programs accept unsolicited applications, with published grant-size ranges from $7,500 to $75,000 for legal aid and public interest law organizations.
