San Mateo County Partnerships
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is working to build an equitable San Mateo County, where everyone has the agency and opportunity to prosper. We support and uplift the neighborhoods where we live and work and aim to be a valued community partner working to strengthen our local ecosystem through grants, unity and healing through the Community Space, and responsive giving.
Community Fund
Created in 2017, the Community Fund supports organizations across San Mateo County that are increasing access to the building blocks of social and economic well-being — including housing, healthcare, education, job, career skills, and other social supports. Through their programs and services, Community Fund partners are increasing socioeconomic opportunities and galvanizing community voice so that everyone — regardless of their background or income level — has the power to shape their lives and communities.
