The Full Cost Project is a joint initiative of Philanthropy California and Nonprofit Finance Fund to support a funding model that honestly assesses the full cost for organizations to deliver on their missions and to be sustainable over time. We are bringing together education, advocacy, and skill-building with the goal to increase the number of funders that provide full cost funding and to build the skills and capacity of all those engaged in grantmaking – foundations, corporations, individuals, and government.

As California prepares for its first all-mail voting election, philanthropy can provide resources in critical areas to ensure that all voters – particularly people of color, immigrants, new voters, and first-time voters – can participate in our democracy.
California is on fire. As we continue to battle a global pandemic and unrelenting violent acts of racism, these fires are not only devastating to our environment, they’re devastating our communities.
The first 100 days of the new presidential administration have set the tone for sweeping policy change — many of which will have direct implications for philanthropy and the communities these organizations serve in California.
Supporting our communities affected by natural disasters.
Our community college students, faculty, and staff are already being impacted by California’s devastating wildfire season, which has burned more acres in the state this year than in the previous two combined.
In order for a fund to be listed on our Nonprofit & Community Resilience page, it must meet the following vetting criteria:
Census data informs the allocation of over $170 billion of federal funds to California. These funds support important programs such as Medi-Cal, housing, and food assistance programs.
We are no longer accepting applications for the cohort. Please contact Phuong Pham at phuong@socalgrantmakers.org if you have any questions.
The work we do in philanthropy—and the work of our nonprofit partners—is not immune to the complexities and chaos of a changing world. Amidst a global pandemic, threats to our democracy, and environmental devastation, we are pushed to be hyperproductive problem-solvers. While these tendencies are brought to bear “in the heat of the moment,” they’re limiting over the long-term, especially when strategic thinking and attuned sensitivities are needed. We cultivate the latter by slowing down, stilling our minds, getting in touch with signals from our body, and allowing the resulting data to inform our action. Beneath our professional titles and roles, trust-based philanthropy acknowledges that we are one piece of a longer arc of time and a larger ecosystem, and that sometimes, we have to go slowly if we want to go far.
