Award honors breakthrough solutions to California's biggest problems
Our foundation honors Frieda C. Fox, an accomplished teacher, artist, and musician who was the first in her family to attend college in the 1920's. Throughout her life, she inspired a love of learning, self-expression, and compassion within her family and community. Through this foundation, four generations of her family hope to do the same.
The foundation provides grants to support educational programming in Santa Clara and Los Angeles counties, and employs a strategic approach to philanthropy that goes 'beyond the check'. We offer pro-bono consulting, technical assistance, and in-kind grants. We also collaborate to develop Innovative Programs that meet the common needs of our partners.
