We focus on charitable giving
The Armanino Foundation is primarily a grant-making organization.
The Grants Committee evaluates all nominations based on the following criteria: The charitable organization must be a 501(c)(3) in good standing with the IRS and related governing authorities, as well as provide services or programming in one of our five areas of interest. Some of these charitable organizations are clients of the firm.
Grant applications are also evaluated based on the nominee’s involvement with the charitable organization, the nominee’s support of the Armanino Foundation and awarded to organizations near where our team lives and works. We do not award grants to international organizations. Grants are awarded in amounts ranging from $500-$3,000.
