We Believe in People

At Sand Hill Foundation, we believe that a community’s ability to thrive is determined by the combination of equitable opportunity, dedication, and heart. A community dedicated to taking care of its people and its environment, year after year, is a community that will prosper.


Our Mission

Sand Hill Foundation is driven by optimism about the resilience and hopefulness of the human spirit. We partner with and fund locally-based organizations to strengthen economic stability and wellness among families with low income and to advance advocacy efforts that create a more sustainable environment in our home community of San Mateo County.
