Donate to the Community Impact Fund
Communities are dynamic, and it’s hard to predict the next issue or crisis. The Community Impact Fund is a Focus Area that enables us to respond to urgent and timely needs of the community.
Through the fund, we can support charities that address, shape, and adapt to emergent issues. It also allows us to do our best work to fund a wide range of pressing social, cultural, and environmental projects.
By supporting the Community Impact Fund, you make the most of your gift by letting our community advisors direct it to where it’s needed most.
Most recently, it’s how we directed millions of dollars to pandemic response and flood relief in a matter of days. We’ve also been able to quickly respond to calls for racial justice by prioritizing funding for equity-seeking communities.

Focus Areas are Guided by Community Advisors
When you support a Focus Area, you join a powerful force of like-minded donors and community advisors to make a profound impact on the causes you care about. Our Focus Areas fuel our grant programs. Each program also has its own team of community advisors who are all experts in their fields. This team reviews grant applications and directs your donation to the ones.
