The Morgan Hill Community Foundation (MHCF) is a tax-exempt public charity focused on improving the quality of life in the greater Morgan Hill region as defined by the Morgan Hill Unified School District boundaries. We accomplish this by furthering a culture of giving to address community needs and identifying and acquiring resources that provide support to nonprofit groups and programs.
We believe that collectively through the generosity of our donors and the Foundation’s stewardship, we can affect positive change, create opportunities, enrich lives, and secure a strong and healthy future for our community and its residents.
What specific needs does the foundation target?
In order to meet the breadth of community needs, the MHCF has six funding areas: Arts & Culture, Recreation, Education & Livelong Learning, Health & Human Services, Science & Technology, Environment & Agriculture. We have an annual discretionary grants process (Grant Process Spring 2010) that awards grants to local non-profit organizations and programs. We also will work with donors on an individual basis to assist in philanthropic choices and community investment strategies.

These programs offer flexibility to address a specific area of interest, or the option of relying on the Foundation’s stewardship to effectively meet the needs of greater Morgan Hill region.

Donations are accepted in cash, marketable securities, life insurance, real estate, foundation/corporate grants and goods and services.
