Priority is given to charities that benefit the disadvantaged, particularly children, youth and families, especially in the Asian-American community. Strong preference is given to applications in the Santa Clara County of California. All applicants must have federal tax-exemption under Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code (or foreign equivalent) and be classified as "not a private foundation" as defined under Section 509(a), or as a governmental agency. The Foundation does not make grants to support the following: fundraising events, conferences, individuals, for-profit enterprises, and political purposes. Grants are made only after written applications are received and reviewed by the staff and presented to and approved by the Board of Directors
