In the Marin Community Foundation’s 2010 fiscal year, it made $54,838,016 in grants to support a wide range of efforts in Marin County, throughout the U.S., and around the world. These grants were made from MCF's discretionary funds, supporting organizations, and Family and Community Funds
We are including two lists of grants.

The second list shows all grants made from all sources at the Foundation: discretionary grants made under our 2010-2014 Strategic Plan and grants from donor-advised funds, supporting organizations, and other Family and Community Funds. These are listed alphabetically by grantee organization.

Supporting Organizations at MCF
In 2010, seven supporting organizations at the Foundation undertook a range of activities. These are charitable institutions that operate under the umbrella of the Marin Community Foundation.
For more information, click on the name of each supporting organization.
In 2005, the San Francisco-based wealth management firm of Bingham, Osborn & Scarborough opened the Bingham, Osborn & Scarborough Foundation, a supporting organization under the umbrella of MCF that enables BOS clients to open named donor-advised funds.
It is a way for the firm's clients to incorporate charitable giving into their financial plans, with the assets they invest in their donor-advised funds managed by the clients' BOS portfolio managers, with whom they already have a relationship.
MCF takes care of all administrative aspects of the funds and makes its expertise in charitable giving available to BOS's clients.

The grantmaking priority of the Fullerton Family Foundation, a supporting organization of the Marin Community Foundation, is in the area of education, primarily for children in grades pre-K-12.
The Fullerton Family Foundation's specific interests are in new or entrepreneurial approaches and private school scholarships in locations where there are insufficient public school opportunities for low-income students with high achiever skills, special talents, or potential.
It also supports vocational education and bilingualism, especially teaching English-speaking children a second language so they can communicate with other children in their community.

10,000 Degrees, the scholarship arm of the Marin Community Foundation, is dedicated to creating educational equity. To carry out its mission, Marin Education Fund provides college access programs, scholarships, and recipient support to students of all ages.

Students who receive assistance from 10,000 Degrees are from low- to moderate-income households in Marin County. These students are frequently the first-generation of their family to go to college and are from groups who have been traditionally underrepresented in higher education.
10,000 Degrees sponsors five programs that provide financial assistance: undergraduate scholarships (for studies at colleges and universities), professional and technical training scholarships (for acquiring skills required for employment), child care scholarships (to support parents involved in education, training, or employment), and scholarships established by individuals and organizations addressing a range of educational needs.
10,000 Degrees also provides an array of services to help Marin residents learn about their options and make informed decisions about their educational future. These include financial aid workshops, tours of local colleges, an on-campus introduction to college life, mentoring programs, and a resource library.
Donors support 10,000 Degrees through an annual scholarship campaign and through named, endowed, and donor-advised scholarships.
