The application for the 2018 Crestmoor Neighborhood Memorial Scholarship is now available online. The application deadline is Wednesday, March 14, 2018, at 5:00 p.m.
The Crestmoor Scholarship honors the community members who most directly endured the destruction of the 2010 gas pipeline explosion and resulting fire and especially in memory of the eight San Bruno residents who lost their lives in the disaster. The Foundation intends to distribute $120,000 in multi-year scholarships this spring.
High school seniors headed to college and community college students planning to transfer to a four-year college in the fall of 2018 are eligible to apply. Applicants must live or attend a high school or community college located in San Bruno.
Scholarship recipients must demonstrate, as the top criteria, deep engagement and involvement in the San Bruno community. Other factors that will be considered during the selection process include, in no particular order, an applicant's financial need, extracurricular activities, academic record, and examples of leadership, teamwork, and collaboration.

Community Grants Fund
Supports Local Community Organizations
In December, the SBCF Board awarded Community Grants to a diverse set of local organizations doing important work in our community. The Foundation is pleased to partner with YouTube/Google.Org, which provided $100,000 of the $300,000 in grant funds being distributed through the Community Grants Fundthis year. Read the full list of 2017-2018 Community Grants Fund awards here,
As part of our efforts to reach out into the community, SBCF Board members have been hand-delivering grant checks to the recipient organizations. Board Member Pat Bohm (photo below, left) presented a $20,000 grant check to staff at the Society of St. Vincent de Paul of San Mateo County to provide services to San Bruno families and individuals at risk of homelessness through the organization’s Peninsula Family Resource Center and San Bruno Store. SBCF Secretary John McGlothlin (photo below, right) commended the leadership of theLatino Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services of San Mateo County. The $15,000 grant check he presented will fund expansion in San Bruno of the organization's Entre Familia Outpatient Services Project, which provides mental and behavioral health counseling to substance abuse recovery clients, and support a young women's empowerment program called Xinachtli.
