The Rogers Family Foundation aims to support and educate Oakland students, focusing on aligning with strategic areas outlined in their Oakland Education Strategy. They are in the process of spending down assets to sunset Oakland education grantmaking and operations by 2025, and are not accepting unsolicited proposals.
The Rogers Family Foundation grants support organizations working within the priority areas of their Oakland Education Strategy. The foundation's grantmaking process is competitive and targeted towards organizations that contribute to Oakland education, explicitly excluding unsolicited proposals. While they do support programs at the University of California, San Francisco, and the University of California, Berkeley, their primary focus remains on local education initiatives in Oakland. Potential grantees are usually contacted by the foundation to apply in either their spring or fall grant cycles.
