We believe in community. That’s why we support local organizations doing critical work near and around our offices in Westlake Village, California. Inspired by the same philosophy that guides our program grantmaking—addressing the needs of individuals experiencing disadvantage—the Good Neighbor Program offers grants to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status or Title 1 schools providing direct services within the Conejo Valley, extending northwest to Camarillo, Oxnard, and Ventura. The communities comprising the Conejo Valley include Agoura Hills, Newbury Park, Oak Park, Thousand Oaks, and Westlake Village.
Please see our frequently asked questions for additional Good Neighbor grant information.
For the 2024 program year, all Good Neighbor grants will have a fixed award amount of $10,000. The majority of grants will be allocated for general operating support, with the goal of streamlining the application process and providing grantees with increased flexibility. Funding for schools will be limited to project or program support.
Proposals may be submitted through our online application system between March 1, 2024, and September 30, 2024. All submissions will be reviewed following the application deadline, with funding decisions communicated to applicants within one month of the review deadline.
