THE JAMES IRVINE FOUNDATION

The James Irvine Foundation has provided more than $1.5 billion in grants to over 3,600 nonprofit organizations across the state. The guiding principle in all Their grantmaking is to expand opportunity. In Their Youth program, that means increasing the number of low-income young people who complete high school on time and earn a postsecondary credential by age 25. In the Arts program, it means promoting engagement in the arts for all Californians — the kind that embraces and advances the d... iverse ways that They experience the arts, and that strengthens Their ability to thrive together in a dynamic and complex social environment. And through Their California Democracy program, it means advancing effective public policy decision making that is reflective of and responsive to all Californians.More
