Belvedere Cares Foundation Grants

Belvedere Cares Foundation Grants is sponsored by Belvedere Cares Foundation. Focuses on urban youth mentoring and after-school programs in the Chicago area, including organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Belvedere Community Foundation Help sustain Belvedere’s natural beauty and quality of life by encouraging and funding projects that enhance our community, cultivate generosity, and inspire volunteerism among all residents.

We support community traditions like Concerts-in-the-Park, invest in our kids with new library books and school buses, care for our seniors, and tend to our parks and landscapes to enhance the lives of everyone in Belvedere. We’re all about inspiring generosity and volunteerism in our community. Check back here for opportunities to get involved.

Have a question about BCF? Is BCF part of the City of Belvedere? No. We communicate closely with the city to understand priorities and needs but we are not a city organization and we are not supported by tax dollars.

If a city-led project needs additional funding, the city may approach BCF for a supporting grant. BCF will consider offering financial support to the city if the project aligns with BCF’s mission. We accept donations all year.

You can donate online, by check, wire, through an IRA, donor advised fund, or as part of your estate planning. See all the options and donate in less than 5 minutes on our donations page here . What kind of projects does BCF fund?

We look for projects that beautify the landscape of Belvedere (GreenTeam, Harvey’s Garden, Richardson Bay Audubon Center), bring the community together (Concerts-in-the-Park, Belvedere Home Made Film Festival, Art Gallery at Belvedere Tiburon Library), promote safety (Belvedere Block Captains, Get Ready to Go 94920), support students (Tiburon Peninsula Traffic Alliance (previously Yellow Bus Challenge), Reed and Bel Aire Elementary Schools), preserve our history (Landmarks Society) and inspire volunteerism in our community (Marin Villages, St.

Vincent’s Meal Bag Project). The blooming flower bed you’re walking by, the concert you’re enjoying, or the water fountain you’re drinking from just may be the work of the BCF! You can see a full list of funded projects here .
