Due to the unprecedented needs of the nonprofit community, no LOIs will be reviewed until January 2026, allowing the Foundation to be as responsive as possible to our current grantee partners.

Thank you for your interest in partnering with the Lesher Foundation.

The Lesher Foundation makes grants to 501(c)(3) organizations that are located in or directly benefit the residents of Contra Costa County, California, in support of children and families, education, and arts and culture.
