Mission
Our goal is to help young people achieve their full potential. We do this by making substantial annual grants to Crivitz Youth, Inc. in Wisconsin, which was the original purpose of our founder; and by supporting organizations whose mission is to provide ongoing education, enrichment and/or health benefits to children and youth located in Monterey County. We may also fund significant youth-oriented projects of other Monterey County organizations.

Application Process:
We accept applications twice a year on the third Friday in February and August. Organizations can apply during either cycle, but they must have completed any previous grant before applying.

To receive an application, send us an email or call (831) 375-3311.

Application Deadline 2025:
Spring Cycle: February 21st
Fall Cycle: August 15th

All Applications due by 5 p.m.
