The Skylark Foundation is committed to encouraging innovation, striving for social justice, and supporting diversity. We award grants to organizations or projects that translate these values into strategically designed and executed activities.

The Skylark Foundation focuses primarily on organizations located in Los Angeles, North Carolina, and Northern New Mexico. We normally support 10 to 15 organizations each year with grants ranging from $5,000 to $25,000. Special consideration is given to proposals in the following areas:
