Fund Information

THE JULIUS AND KATHLEEN BLUM CHARITABLE FUND

2023 Grants have been made!  SCF is happy to announce that in September, The Julius and Kathleen Blum Charitable Fund awarded its first round of funding to three deserving Vacaville charitable organizations, totaling $85,000.  Congratulations, and thank you for the homeless services and programs you have in place to support those in need.

The purpose of this fund is to provide access to food, hygiene, medical care and mental health services to homeless people in Vacaville California. Grants made from this fund will support outreach and direct aid to support Vacaville’s homeless population. Funding will focus on improving racial and ethnic equity in populations served, and in the choice of organizations receiving a grant. Written final and interim Grantee Reports are required for all monies disbursed; the report form will be available online as a Google Form in January 2024.  All report submissions shall include the following information regarding philanthropic outcomes and goals:

• The number of homeless people who were provided meals, showers, medical care and mental health counseling and treatment as a direct result of the grant received.
• Whether services (and or supplies) provided by the grant monies were brought to the homeless people where they are (their physical location), or if services (and or supplies) were provided by transporting the homeless people to non-mobile services.
