The Union Bank of California Foundation Board meets bi-monthly. All requests should be directed to the appropriate Foundation Officer for processing.
The Union Bank of California Foundation, a nonprofit public benefit corporation established by Union Bank of California, serves as an agent for charitable contributions made by Union Bank of California. Established in 1953, the foundation has throughout its history supported the bank's commitment to help meet the needs of the communities it serves. As part of its ten-year community reinvestment commitment, the bank has pledged 2 percent of its net profit annually to charitable contributions. The Union Bank of California Foundation proactively invests in the communities in which the Union Bank of California and its businesses operate, for the benefit of low-to-moderate income populations. The Foundation focuses on the following strategic program areas: (1) Affordable Housing; (2) Community Economic Development; (3) Education; and (4) Environment. The monitoring, assessment, and review of needs in these categories are the responsibility of Union Bank of California Foundation staff under the oversight of the Foundation's Board of Directors. In its grant making work, Foundation staff places emphasis on well-managed non-profit organizations and programs, and maintains open channels and the flexibility to learn about and accommodate new and innovative approaches to meeting community needs. The Union Bank of California Foundation prefers program grants, but will consider requests for core operating support and/or capacity building grants to support exceptional work within its strategic funding categories. Program grants exceeding $10,000 may include an allowance to be used by the grantee to cover administrative expenses. The Foundation does not provide funding for capital campaigns, nor does it fund individual elementary or secondary level schools. The Foundation expects effective program planning, execution, evaluation and reporting relative to stated program objectives by the recipient organizations. Grant requests exceeding $10,000 must include performance measurement criteria, and the requestor must be prepared to submit a report of achievement annually. The Foundation prefers single year funding commitments, however it will consider multi-year grants for well established organizations demonstrating a history of success within the Foundation's strategic funding categories. Corporate Contributions- Union Bank of California also considers requests for corporate donations and sponsorships to non-profit organizations in the above-mentioned categories and other program areas such as Arts & Culture, Health & Human Services, and Emergency Services. All charitable contributions made by the Bank are evaluated by local Area Contributions Committees.
