Strategy Grants are designed to fund projects that directly contribute to the foundation's overarching mission, which is centered on four primary, interconnected goals. These goals include fostering thriving youth and families, actively promoting racial equity, building a just and sustainable economy, and ensuring the health and resilience of local ecosystems.

In terms of target beneficiaries and impact goals, the grants are specifically intended to increase equity and support the region's most vulnerable communities.

The strategic focus of the Strategy Grants heavily prioritizes proposals that demonstrate a holistic approach to community issues by addressing multiple foundational goals simultaneously. This cross-cutting focus is a key strategic priority, aiming to maximize comprehensive impact. Eligible organizations can receive flexible support, including general operating funds, capital support for physical assets, dedicated capacity building resources, or programmatic support for specific initiatives. The average grant size is situated within a range of $15,000 to $25,000, ensuring support is directed effectively to local organizations. The foundation's theory of change is rooted in the belief that supporting organizations that simultaneously tackle multiple systemic challenges—such as poverty, racial inequity, and environmental degradation—will lead to more profound and sustainable community-wide outcomes. The expected measurable results are tied directly to the four mission areas, with the ultimate desired impact being the creation of a more equitable, economically robust, and environmentally healthy region where vulnerable communities, particularly BIPOC communities, are centered in the path to prosperity and thriving families.

The Santa Barbara Foundation's Tri-Counties Blood Bank Fund Grant aims to distribute income to qualified nonprofit organizations supporting blood and blood-related products and services, aligning with the Foundation's broader mission to enhance community well-being. This grant operates through an annual Request for Proposal (RFP) process, focusing on three main types of support: Indigent Care Grants, Education Grants, and Scholarships. The program's strategic intent is to address critical needs within Santa Barbara County related to blood banking, from ensuring access for vulnerable populations to advancing medical knowledge and public awareness. Indigent Care Grants are specifically designed to reimburse "qualified hospitals" for "un-reimbursed costs" incurred when providing blood or blood products to "qualified patients" in Santa Barbara County. Qualified patients are defined as those with incomes 200% or less of the federal poverty line and without private or government insurance. The impact goal here is to alleviate the financial burden on hospitals and ensure that low-income, uninsured patients receive necessary blood products, directly contributing to health equity within the community. This component directly targets the most vulnerable populations, ensuring their access to essential medical care. Education Grants and Scholarships form another crucial pillar of this program. Education grants are intended for advanced medical technology or nursing education related to blood banking, physician education on transfusion medicine, and community education on blood and blood diseases. These grants prioritize improving the quality of blood banking, enhancing hospital staff's capabilities, and raising public awareness. Expected outcomes include a more skilled medical workforce, improved transfusion practices, and a more informed community regarding blood-related health issues and the importance of blood donation. Measurable results could include an increase in trained professionals, improved blood banking practices, and enhanced public knowledge about blood-borne diseases and critical shortages. Scholarships are aimed at post-doctoral education in non-medical disciplines related to blood and blood banking at UCSB, covering departments like Molecular, Cellular, Developmental Biology, Chemistry, and Chemical Engineering, as well as medical education in hematology/oncology specialties. This focus underscores the Foundation's commitment to fostering cutting-edge research and specialized medical expertise. The expected outcome is the development of new knowledge and highly trained specialists who can contribute to advancements in blood science and patient care. The overall theory of change for the Tri-Counties Blood Bank Fund is that by investing in direct patient support, professional education, community awareness, and specialized research, the Santa Barbara Foundation can significantly improve the availability, quality, and accessibility of blood and blood-related services for the entire Santa Barbara County community.
