Room to Breathe Project

• Room to Breathe Project funds youth mental health, caregiver training, early-life support and community systems change work, with San Francisco given as its priority area.
• Most of its grants to organisations fall between $1,000 and $250,000, and half of its 71 grants across its recent filings were about $25,000 or less, so a modest request in that range is realistic; its largest grant was $1,000,000, made to Schwab Charitable, an organisation that regrants to other organisations.
• Applications should be submitted in letter form, and no deadlines are given in its filing, so there is some flexibility in timing.
• 43% of its grant dollars went to organisations it had already funded in the two prior filings, suggesting a degree of relationship-led repeat giving, though new applicants can still approach it.
• It does not fund grants directly to individuals.
