ABOUT THE FOUNDATION
OUR BEGINNINGS
Since 1980 the Gilroy Foundation, a nonprofit
public benefit corporation designated by the
I.R.S. as 501(c)(3), has worked
to create opportunities for all Gilroy area residents. The
concept is simple:
Giving opportunity to individuals, families and corporations, who share a common commitment to the
future prosperity and well-being of the community to come together to build an endowment that will last
in perpetuity.
Giving opportunity for potential grant recipients to find programs and services that meet the ever-changing
needs of the community. Founded in 1980, the Gilroy Foundation was organized
specifically to help meet
the needs of the community in the areas of Health, Education, Recreation, Culture and Civic Services.
OUR PEOPLE
Governed by a Board of 15 local community leaders and advised by an extensive Legacy Board and
Board of Advisors, the Gilroy Foundation is affiliated with the Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
SVCF has assets in excess of $1.9 billion.
The Gilroy Foundation’s funds are invested along with SVCF assets
to maximize the investment potential.
Legal and financial assistance to our Board of Directors and
donors is also available.
The Foundation has begun a MEMBERSHIP campaign,
allowing individuals and families to
participate in charitable giving on a variety of levels.
