From the start in 2000 the Holiday Fund assures donors that 100% of the dollars donated reach the target groups. All promotion and advertising and processing costs are underwritten by the Town Crier.

We have the partnership with the Silicon Valley Community Foundation which unlike most foundations does not deduct a management fee for banking the money as it comes in, providing the tax receipt letters and finally cutting the checks for the groups served.


Our Thanks to the Providers of Matching Grants

Each year a generous group of individuals and foundations provide Matching Grants to stimulate donations from our community of readers.

Last year's matching grant donors each provided between $5000 and $20,000 to help launch a successful campaign.
