The Frieda C. Fox Family Foundation honors Frieda C. Fox, an accomplished teacher, artist, and musician who was the first in her family to attend college in the 1920's. Throughout her life, she inspired a love of learning, self-expression, and compassion within her family and community. Through this foundation, four generations of her family hope to do the same.

Our mission is to maximize the potential of children and youth, with the greater family vision that all children may have the strong and effective learning environments they need to encourage their talent, creativity and excellence independent of their families' income or economic status.

The foundation provides grants to a limited number of non-profit organizations serving children and youth in only two geographic regions: Santa Clara County and Los Angeles County, California. In addition, we selectively offer non-financial support such as promotional video, marketing and fund development consultation, and other technical support to our nonprofit partners, on a case-by-case basis to established partners.

The foundation's additional website, http://virtualsitevisit.org/, provides a gallery of short videos, marketing suggestions, reliable information, resources, and "how-to" guides for nonprofits and foundations to use video and online technology to their advantage in this increasingly digital society.

If you are NEW to this foundation, and serve children and youth in our geographic area, you may let us know about your programs for consideration in future funding cycles by submitting an online Letter of Introduction. The foundation does not accept full proposals outside Current Request for Proposals, nor postal mail submissions of any kind. For more specific information please review this website or contact your grants manager, if you are a current or prior grants recipient.
