Provide safety, healing, and empowerment to survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking, and other forms of trauma through shelter, housing, clinical services, and supportive programs.
Ruby's Place Inc. repeatedly funds services for survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking, and other trauma through shelter, housing, clinical support, and victim-services partnerships. The largest recent awards in the data show a steady stream of subrecipient and restricted project funding, including $240,460 grants to Community Health Center Network in both 2024 and 2025 and $218,950 to Shade Movement LLC in 2025. Those awards sit alongside direct service grants tied to human trafficking services, medical offramps, and crisis response. The foundation’s recent grant list also includes support for organizations working with youth experiencing homelessness or in shelter settings, showing that its work extends beyond adult survivor services. Several recipients appear across multiple years, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-off gifts. The pattern is especially visible with organizations in Alameda County and the greater Bay Area, where the foundation’s funding is attached to specific programs and collaborative delivery models. Recent awards also connect to Office for Victims of Crime and Cal OES-related work, reinforcing a service-oriented grantmaking style centered on survivor support and referral pathways.
In human trafficking response, Ruby's Place Inc. backed Community Health Center Network with $240,460 in 2025 for a subrecipient award, and earlier gave $21,000 to the same organization for Department of Justice-funded human trafficking services and medical offramps. That same service lane appears in the $171,606 grant to Alameda County District Attorney in 2023 for human trafficking services and medical offramps. The foundation also supports survivor advocacy and compensation work. In 2023, it gave $34,667 to Justice at Last for Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime-related work, and $25,000 to Alameda County Family Justice Center for the same federal program area. Youth shelter and residential services are another clear thread. Ruby's Place Inc. awarded $26,000 to Api Legal Outreach in 2023 for Cal OES youth services and shelter services, linking its funding to crisis support for young people.
Typical grant size falls between $25,535 at the 25th percentile and $122,298 at the 75th percentile, with a median of $68,968. The recent record shows repeat awards to the same groups across consecutive years, including multiple grants to Community Health Center Network, Shade Movement LLC, Covenant House California, Progressive Transitions Inc, Sun Gallery, and Justice at Last. That pattern suggests continuing support rather than isolated gifts. Ruby's Place Inc. is a regular funder, not a donor-advised fund, and the grants in the data are structured as subrecipient awards and restricted, project-specific grants tied to named public-program lines.
