The James Irvine Foundation
The James Irvine Foundation is a private, nonprofit grantmaking foundation dedicated to expanding opportunity for the people of California. Since 1937, the Foundation has provided more than $1.6 billion in grants to over 3,600 nonprofit organizations across the state. The guiding principle in all our grantmaking is to expand opportunity, and in 2016 we announced a specific focus of expanding economic and political opportunity for California families and young adults that are working but struggling with poverty.
