Research Reports on California Foundation Giving
 As the diversity of California's population continues to grow, a new Foundation Center analysis of grantmaking by 50 of the state's largest independent foundations finds that at least 39 percent of California-focused grants benefited populations of color. According to the report, Embracing Diversity: Foundation Giving Benefiting California's Communities of Color, in 2005 alone, these 50 California-based foundations awarded a minimum of 2,700 grants totaling nearly $300 million to support health, education, social services, and other programs that serve ethnically or racially diverse populations. In addition, 10-year trends show that giving benefiting these populations grew nearly twice as fast as overall giving between 1996 and 2005. Download the report»
 In 2006, 85 California foundations gave $279.2 million for the environment and animals according to Spotlight on Funding for the Environment and Animals in California. This report includes statistical charts and data tables and lists of top grantmakers and recipients drawn from the Foundation Center's annual grants sample.
