Serving communities from Daly City to Mountain View and from the Pacific Ocean to the San Francisco Bay, Peninsula Community Foundation connects people, ideas and resources for the common good. Peninsula Community Foundation was established in 1964 as the San Mateo Foundation by Theodore “Ted” and Frances Lilienthal, a civic-minded couple who spent their lives working with a variety of community organizations in the Bay Area.

The foundation has granted more than $1.1 billion to nonprofits locally, nationally and internationally. It was the first foundation in the country to establish a nonprofit resource center in 1977, and the first to establish a dedicated center for venture philanthropy in 1999 

Peninsula Community Foundation has helped hundreds of local individuals, families and corporations to realize strategic and effective charitable giving. Through its endowment, the foundation awarded approximately $6.5 million annually to local and regional nonprofit agencies. By partnering with community-based organizations and concerned community members to improve collective quality of life, Peninsula Community Foundation helped to promote innovative solutions that engaged the diversity of our region and brought promise to communities spanning the Peninsula and Silicon Valley.
