Koret Foundation

Founded in 1979, the Koret Foundation focuses, in part, on supporting Bay Area anchor institutions.  Recognizing the importance of anchor institutions—civic organizations, educational institutions, cultural establishments, and large human-service organizations— to creating a strong, dynamic Bay Area for current and future generations, it provides capital project, general operating, and program support to such organizations.  In 2013, its Anchor Institutions program disbursed more than $11 million in grants, which comprised nearly half of its total $25 million in grant awards.
