On September 30, 2010, Palo Alto Community Fund launched a fundraising campaign to raise $2 million. This increase will enable PACF to have a broader impact on the greater Palo Alto area community nonprofits.

Every year the board of directors meets to review applications and select grant recipients. In 2011, 88 local nonprofit organizations applied for grants but PACF was only able to fund 47. The campaign will help more of these worthy organizations receive funding in the future.

The link below will take you to PayPal, our service provider for donations. You will be able to pay with a credit card either with or without having a PayPal account. PayPal allows us to keep our costs low, but you might consider increasing your donation by 3% if you wish to cover the service charges we incur.

Please be sure to include your mailing address (under shipping address) so that we may send you a tax receipt via US Mail.
