About RSFF’s Building Healthy Communities Grantmaking Pillar

Building Healthy Communities is an essential Impact Pillar of Rancho Santa Fe Foundation, designed to foster a healthy, resilient, sustainable future for our community.

Through RSF Foundation's Collaborative Grantmaking, donors have the added benefit of knowing that each nonprofit has been thoroughly vetted and are change-making partners.

Participatory Grantmaking

At Rancho Santa Fe Foundation we embrace participatory grantmaking which actively involves the community impacted in the decision-making process. This ensures that community needs and insights directly shape equitable funding choices.

Benefits of participatory grantmaking:  

• Donors make informed giving decisions which increase the impact of their charitable contributions.
• Nonprofit organizations experience (or gain) greater alignment between needs and funding.
• RSF Foundation fosters stronger partnerships and meaningful engagement in our shared community.
