Westwood Foundation makes a small number of moderately sized, program-specific grants focused on community enrichment. Their largest and repeat support goes to K–12 classroom needs in the Walnut Creek area, while other gifts fund community outdoor engagement and volunteer/service programs, including international volunteer partnerships.
Concentrated giving across a very small portfolio: a few mid-sized grants ($5k–$13k) with repeat support to at least one education grantee and single grants to community engagement and volunteer organizations.
