    About Stupski Foundation

    Stupski Foundation is organized around returning its resources to the communities it serves by 2029, with grantmaking aimed at equitable, community-led systems change in food, health, and postsecondary pathways. That direction shows up in large operating support alongside targeted investments in advising, food systems, and care infrastructure. In recent years, the foundation has backed San Francisco State University with $2.5 million for advising transformation and Cal State East Bay Educational Foundation with $2.48 million for a more visible, accessible, and equitable advising system. It also gave $2 million to Freedom Community Clinic for general operating support, showing that institutional change and frontline service capacity both sit within its portfolio. The foundation’s work also reaches community-led health and food organizations. West Hawai'i Community Health Center received $3.2 million in general operating support, and Hawaii Land Trust received $1.5 million for general operating support. Across the grant list, the pattern is not limited to one sector: it includes postsecondary success, food justice, serious illness care, early brain development, and youth leadership, with funding often structured to strengthen existing organizations and the systems around them.

    What Stupski Foundation Funds

    In postsecondary success, Stupski Foundation has funded advising and student-support redesign rather than only direct aid. San Francisco State University received $2.5 million for advising transformation, while Cal State East Bay Educational Foundation received $2.48 million to build a more visible, accessible, and equitable advising system through space modernization, technology integration, and continuous professional development. Food justice appears in both organizational and systems-building grants. Mercy Housing California received $1,025,000 to implement food security projects for residents, including food retail space, community gardens, and teaching infrastructure. The Food Basket Inc received $1,000,000 to develop an Agriculture Innovation Park and Food Systems Campus. Kokua Kalihi Valley Comprehensive Family Services also received $1,025,000 for food systems initiatives that increase healthy food and land access. In health, the foundation supports palliative and community health infrastructure. Alameda Health System Foundation received $1.4 million to expand palliative care services, and Hawaii Public Health Institute received $940,000 to support the Hawaii Community Health Workers Association program and payment models for community health workers.
