A private family foundation in the Bay Area and Napa Valley, started by David and Susan Martin in 2006 and run today by their daughters.
We give to health, faith and community, housing and hunger, and education. Most of our partners are in the Bay Area and Napa Valley; a handful are elsewhere in the country or overseas. Partners are invited by the family, and the foundation is funded only by the family.
