The Community Foundation San Luis Obispo County's "Access for All Fund" is dedicated to supporting charitable organizations that primarily benefit San Luis Obispo County residents, aligning directly with the foundation's overarching mission. This grant program specifically targets the disability community within the county, aiming to advance access and promote inclusion across several critical areas.

The Hispanic Impact Fund, a signature program of the Austin Community Foundation, is dedicated to bridging the racial wealth divide and advancing economic opportunity for Latino families in Central Texas. This initiative aligns with the foundation's broader mission to foster a thriving community by addressing systemic inequities. The fund's strategic priorities are centered on creating a pipeline from "cradle to career" for Latino individuals, thereby contributing to a more equitable and prosperous Central Texas. This approach reflects a theory of change that posits targeted investments in key areas can lead to significant, long-term positive outcomes for the Latino community.

For Early Childhood Education, the focus is on providing affordable, high-quality Pre-K and early childhood education starting at age 3. In Health & Wellness, the fund supports preventative, culturally competent health education and access to quality mental and physical health services. For Job Skills & Entrepreneurship, the emphasis is on assisting Latino entrepreneurs in expanding their businesses. Finally, Leadership Development aims to advance Latino leadership and create pipelines of youth, emerging, and established talent.
