The Frieda C. Fox Family 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.
Our mission is to maximize the potential of children and youth, with the greater family vision that all children may have the strong and effective learning environments they need to encourage their talent, creativity and excellence independent of their families' income or economic status.
We are guided by our mission and values in our grantmaking, and support a portfolio of financial grants to non-profits in Santa Clara and Los Angeles Counties, California. We do not accept unsolicited proposals during the year, except by online application to an announced call for proposals.
In addition, the foundation is an outspoken proponent of technical support to grantees, and provides non-financial assistance to various current and prior partners to strengthen their organizations and advance their missions. The foundation hosts short documentaries and visual media for its grantees, and creates in-house short "virtual site visits" for fundraising, personnel and client recruitment, marketing, and other organizational purposes.
The foundation also publishes Rattle Magazine, an award-winning poetry publication.
