About East Bay Alliance for A Sustainable Economy
East Bay Alliance For A Sustainable Economy centers its grantmaking on outreach and education for workers, with every one of the seven recent grants described that way. The largest awards in 2025 were $60,000 each, directed to Working Partnerships USA in San Jose, Central Coast Alliance United in Ventura, and Orange County Communities Org in Santa Ana. That pattern points to a labor-focused funder that supports organizations helping workers understand and use their rights. The foundation also gives smaller grants to organizations tied to housing, immigrant-rights, and civic-engagement work, including Communities United for Restor in Oakland and Power Switch Action in Oakland at $10,000 each. Its existing focus areas include fair development, good jobs and workers’ rights, immigrant rights, faith organizing, housing and tenant protections, civic engagement, and research and publications on economic injustice. The beneficiary profile is narrow as well: workers and working adults or employees. With $250,000 in annual grants and $7,519,599 in assets, the foundation operates at a modest scale while maintaining a clear worker-education emphasis.
What East Bay Alliance for A Sustainable Economy Funds
Worker education is the clearest thread in the recent grants. East Bay Alliance For A Sustainable Economy gave $60,000 to Working Partnerships USA for outreach and education for workers, and the same amount to Central Coast Alliance United and Orange County Communities Org for that purpose. The foundation’s broader agenda reaches beyond workplace information into organizing and advocacy. It awarded $25,000 to Restaurant Opportunities Ctrs in New York for outreach and education for workers, showing that its worker-rights support is not limited to California recipients. In the Bay Area, it gave $25,000 to Independent Arts and Media in San Francisco for the same purpose, and $10,000 to Communities United for Restor in Oakland and $10,000 to Power Switch Action in Oakland. Those grants sit alongside stated focus areas that include housing and tenant protections, immigrant rights, faith organizing, and civic engagement.
How East Bay Alliance for A Sustainable Economy Gives
The recent grants cluster at three main amounts: $60,000, $25,000, and $10,000. Across the seven listed awards, the pattern is consistent and easy to read: four grants at $60,000 or $25,000, and two at $10,000. The foundation is a public charity, and its annual grants total $250,000, which suggests a focused grantmaking portfolio rather than a large-volume program. The available records show 2025 awards only, so recurring multi-year recipient patterns cannot be confirmed from the provided data. All listed grants are project-purpose grants described as outreach and education for workers.
