The Ueberroth Family Foundation requires a Letter of Inquiry for any organization that hasn’t received funding in the last 3 years. Please submit one month prior to the March 1st or September 1st grant deadlines.

All letters of inquiry should be no more than 2-3 pages and should include:

  • A brief summary of the project or need
  • Amount requested
  • All other funding pending or committed

Letters of Inquiry should be submitted electronically to info@ueberroth.org

Due to volume, only those organizations being invited to submit a full proposal will receive a response.

Ueberroth Family Foundation grants are donated to nonprofit, charitable organizations in support of their efforts to improve the quality of life in their communities. Funding will be directed towards programs that the Directors determine best reflects the foundation’s philosophy.

Most of our funding is limited to the geographical boundary of Orange County or where our directors live. This policy enables us to partner with non-profit agencies and to make strategic investments in leaders and programs.

The foundation favors projects that:

  • Assist at-risk youth and other vulnerable populations
  • Promote quality education
  • Provide access to health care and human services

Grant applications should be submitted no later than March 1 or September 1. Funds are not granted for individual scholarships, religious institutions, debt retirement or budget deficits. We will consider grant proposals for core operating support and capital campaigns.

Please send hard-copy grant requests through the postal system. E-mailed applications will NOT be accepted. Please do not send dvds. No certified or registered letters will be accepted.
