The Teichert Foundation supports nonprofit organizations and public agencies that strengthen and improve the local communities where Teichert operates.

Teichert Foundation will consider grant requests in the following categories:

• Civic improvement

• Community and social services

• Culture and the arts

• Education and workforce development

• Environmental sustainability

• Rehabilitation and health service

• Youth and elderly

The geographic reach of the Foundation coincides generally with the areas in which Teichert Construction and Teichert Aggregates do business. To be eligible for funding, an agency and program must both be within the geographic scope of interest, though it is not required that the particular program seeking support be in the same county as the main agency office. This means that we unfortunately do not fund programs originating from an out-of-area agency, even if those programs take place in a local area.  

Currently, agencies in the following counties are eligible to apply for Teichert Foundation grants:

• Alameda

• Alpine

• Amador

• Butte

• Calaveras

• Colusa

• Contra Costa

• El Dorado

• Fresno

• Madera

• Mariposa

• Merced

• Monterey

• Nevada

• Placer

• Sacramento

• San Benito

• San Bernardino

• San Diego

• San Joaquin

• San Mateo

• Santa Clara

• Solano

• Stanislaus

• Sutter

• Tuolumne

• Tulare

• Washoe

• Yolo

• Yuba

The Foundation looks for the following:

• The number of people that will benefit from the project

• The number of local volunteers supporting the organization and the project

• The extent to which the applicant complements the services of other community organizations

• The extent to which the program addresses underlying causes, rather than just symptoms of specific problems

• The outcomes of monitoring and evaluating the organizations projects

• The commitment and composition of the organization’s Board of Directors or Board of Trustees

• The current budget and the prior year actuals to show the organization’s fiscal responsibility and management qualifications; and

• The ability of the organization to provide ongoing funding after the term of the grant

-Grant requests for specific purposes are usually preferable to those for normal operating expenses.

-Grants are generally made for one year only.
