Harbor Point Charitable Foundation

OVERVIEW: The Harbor Point Charitable Foundation supports health, education, arts, athletic programs and nutrition in the San Francisco Bay Area of California.

FUNDING AREAS: Health, education, arts, athletic programs, nutrition, youth

IP TAKE: This local funder gives steadily all throughout the Bay Area and often gives to the same familiar nonprofits nearly every year, so it pays to get on HPCF’s radar and keep in close contact.

PROFILE: Established in 2004, the Harbor Point Charitable Foundation (HPCF) is a private foundation based in Mill Valley, California, which is in the San Francisco Bay Area. Bob Kaliski suggested creating this foundation to his brother, sister, wife and nephew as a way of giving back to their community. The family patriarch, Ray Kaliski, Sr., developed the Harbor Point Apartments and Tennis & Swim Club. Rather than being a standard family foundation, the Kaliski family wants to have HPCF be a public community effort through collaboration. The foundation aims to " fund and facilitate the most promising organizations aimed at improving the quality of life for Bay Area adults and children in need.” HPCF funds local efforts for health, education, arts, athletic programs and nutrition.

The Harbor Point Charitable Foundation has one area of focus that is all about serving children and adults who are experiencing a health crisis. The other focus of HPCF is to support various Bay Area institutions that are committed to the future of local children. This commitment is shown through grantmaking for education, arts, athletic and nutritional programs.
