Deadline: 08/05/2022
Size of the Grant: $3,000 to $7,500

Details:
Teichert Foundation will consider grant requests in the following categories:
- Civic improvement and historical restoration
- Community and social services
- Culture and the arts
- Education
- Environmental planning and preservation
- Rehabilitation and health service
- Transportation and planning
- Youth and elderly
While deciding how much to grant to whom, the Foundation will give careful consideration to:
- The number of people that will benefit from the project
- The number of local volunteers supporting the organization and the project
- The commitment and composition of the organization’s Board of Directors or Board of Trustees
- The extent to which the applicant complements the services of other community organizations
- The organization’s fiscal responsibility and management qualifications
- The ability of the organization to provide ongoing funding after the term of the grant
- The extent to which the program addresses underlying causes, rather than just symptoms of specific problems; and
- How well the organization plans to monitor and evaluate the results of the project
- Grant requests for specific purposes are usually preferable to those for normal operating expenses.
Funding Information
- It is the Foundation’s intent to make grants in the range of $3,000 to $7,500. The annual grants budget is $400,000.
- Grants are generally made for one year only.
Eligibility Criteria
- The geographic reach of the Foundation coincides generally with the areas in which Teichert Construction and Teichert Aggregates do business. To be eligible for funding, an agency and program must both be within the geographic scope of interest, though it is not required that the particular program seeking support be in the same county as the main agency office. This means that they unfortunately do not fund programs originating from an out-of-area agency, even if those programs take place in a local area. Currently, agencies in the following counties are eligible to apply for Teichert Foundation grants:
- Alameda
- Alpine
- Amador
- Butte
- Calaveras
- Colusa
- Contra Costa
- El Dorado
- Fresno
- Madera
- Mariposa
- Merced

- San Francisco
- San Joaquin
- San Mateo
- Santa Clara

- Nonprofit organizations must have a valid tax exemption status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and be classified as a public charity and not as a “Private foundation” under Section 509(a). Government and public agencies are also eligible for funding.
