The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) provided generous funding to Caminar’s San Mateo region in FY21-22 and also for the current fiscal year.

In 2021, CZI committed $400,000 to support local mental health programs - including a $50,000 grant for Caminar.

More recently, in November 2022, recently CZI announced $6 million in grants to organizations in San Mateo County through the CZI Community Fund. Caminar is honored to be one of the 63 recipients of the annual funding opportunity for organizations that are helping create a more socially, economically, and racially just San Mateo County.

The Community Fund pairs grants with capacity building to support leadership and organizational development so local groups have the resources and tools they need to further their missions and work.

Caminar is grateful for the ongoing support of CZI in our community and is delighted to partner with CZI to help address the urgent needs of our local community.
