Application Guidelines

Thanks for your interest in The Bill Graham Memorial Foundation. We are currently offering grant for programs/projects of grassroots organizations working in the areas of music, the arts and education. We also fund social work, environmental protection and spiritual & compassionate projects in our community. We seek to assist those whose needs are not served by larger philanthropic organizations. Our geographic scope is primarily but not absolutely limited to the Bay Area and Northern California.

The majority of the grants given by the Bill Graham Memorial Foundation are in the range of $2000 – $3000, and we have a maximum cap of $5000 for a single grant.

Grant application deadline is September 15, 2021
