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 2019 are eligible to apply. Applicants must live or attend a high school or community college located in San Bruno.

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 Fund this year. Read the full list of 2018-2019 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 many of our new recipient organizations. SBCF Treasurer Tim Ross (photo below, left) presented a $20,000 grant check to staff at My Digital TAT2 to provide workshops promoting healthy online habits to San Bruno public school students. SBCF Secretary John McGlothlin (photo below, right) delivered a $10,000 grant check to the Board of Directors of Ombudsman Services of San Mateo County. This grant will support the organization's education, advocacy, and support services for San Bruno residents of long-term care facilities.
