Antioch Community Foundation

About Antioch Community Foundation

Antioch Community Foundation’s recorded giving shows a tight local pattern: a $16,000 grant to the City of Antioch supported recreation, seniors, youth scholarships, and the senior center. That single award captures the foundation’s mix of public-service support and community programming in its hometown. Across the recent grants list, the foundation backs city services, local nonprofits, and neighborhood organizations with grants that are generally modest in size and directed toward direct community use. The foundation’s work reaches several parts of Antioch life. It funded Village Community Resource Center for general support, Family Justice Center for general operations, and Rcf Connects-mobility for general support. It also supported Antioch Rotary Club, Grace Arms of Antioch, St Vincent De Paul, and Antioch Historical Society for general operations or general support, indicating a broad set of local partners rather than a single-service approach. Recent grants also show attention to youth and family-facing work, along with services for older adults and residents needing practical supports. The pattern is neighborhood-scale funding, centered on organizations already active in Antioch and nearby Contra Costa communities.

What Antioch Community Foundation Funds

Youth services appear in both the foundation’s named grant programs and its recent awards. One recent grant went to Bridge Builders to the New Generation in Antioch for general support, while another supported the City of Antioch for youth scholarships and recreation. The active Youth of Promise Fund also targets nonprofit organizations serving justice-system involved youth and youth at risk of justice-system involvement in East Contra Costa County. Economic and family support is another clear thread. The foundation gave general support to Village Keepers in Bay Point and to People Who Care Children Association in Pittsburg, and it funded Counseling Options and Parent Education (cope) in Walnut Creek for general support. For housing and safety-related work, it awarded general support to Rr Transitional Housing in Antioch and general operations to Family Justice Center in Antioch. Community development and business support also appear in the grant record. Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center received funding for business development, and Renaissance Ent-biz Training received support for business training.
