Teichert Foundation will consider grant requests in the following categories:
Civic improvement
Community and social services
Culture and the arts
Education and workforce development
Environmental sustainability
Rehabilitation and health service
Youth and elderly
The Foundation directors may also, from time to time, identify areas for special emphasis when emerging needs require extraordinary attention.
The geographic reach of the Foundation coincides generally with the areas in which Teichert Construction and Teichert Aggregates do business. To be eligible for funding, an agency and program must both be within the geographic scope of interest, though it is not required that the particular program seeking support be in the same county as the main agency office. This means that we unfortunately do not fund programs originating from an out-of-area agency, even if those programs take place in a local area. Currently, agencies in the following counties are eligible to apply for Teichert Foundation grants:
Alameda
Alpine
Amador
Butte
Calaveras
Colusa
Contra Costa
El Dorado
Fresno
Madera
Mariposa
Merced
Monterey
Nevada
Placer
Sacramento
San Benito
San Bernardino
San Diego
San Joaquin
San Mateo
Santa Clara
Solano
Stanislaus
Sutter
Tuolumne
Tulare
Washoe
Yolo
Yuba
It is the Foundation’s intent to make grants in the range of $3,000 to $7,500. The annual grants budget is $400,000.
