The Zellerbach Family Foundation is proud to support the work of individuals, organizations, and institutions whose efforts help build stronger families and communities, improve the future for youth and young adults facing challenging circumstances, enliven the arts and sustain culture in all its variety in the Bay Area. We want to acknowledge our indebtedness to the many community, government, academic, and foundation colleagues with whom we have partnered this year, and to the Foundation’s Board of Directors and staff for their contributions and commitment to this work. We especially want to acknowledge, with deep appreciation, John Zellerbach, who, after many years of service to ZFF, left our board in June of 2013. We would also like to express a very special thanks to Cindy Rambo, ZFF’s Executive Director who retired at the end of the year. We are grateful for Cindy’s commitment to the Foundation and its mission, and her dedicated service for over 16 years. Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to Jose Navarrete and Amara Tabor-Smith who have completed their terms on the Foundation’s Community Arts Panel. They served with distinction and we thank them for the many hours of thoughtful consideration they have given to our community arts grantmaking. Sincerely,

2013 grants: improving human service systems
G
rants in this category help improve the management, practice, and accountability of public systems serving vulnerable children, youth, and families. The Foundation seeks opportunities to promote thoughtful policy work, practical applications of policy changes, and documentation and dissemination of results. The primary focus of grants in this area is on public systems because they provide the greatest opportunities for leveraging major resources and having impact on broad segments of the population. Grantmaking has been targeted to the mental health, child welfare, and juvenile justice service systems and at encouraging positive interactions at the policy and program levels among these three sectors and the adult criminal justice system. Six principles underlie grantmaking in this category: 1) Grants encourage collaboration among service sectors to learn and work together in the interests of children and families. 2) Grants focus on promoting the strengths and assets of people at risk of becoming deeply involved with public systems. 3) Grants encourage consumers and families to get involved in policy work, governance, service delivery, and evaluation. This participation promotes grantmaking that is responsive to diverse populations. 4) Grants add value to the work by advancing the field through learning what works and sharing that knowledge with others. New grants usually build on previous work supported by ZFF.

community arts
T
he arts in all their variety are indispensable to the spirit and quality of life of the Bay Area. For over a quarter of a century, the Zellerbach Family Foundation has sought to ensure the availability of a wide variety of art experiences to promote multicultural community art, encourage new artists, and improve the capacity to perform and develop new audiences by funding through its community arts grants. The Foundation values the continued support of its Community Arts Program by the Wallace Alexander Gerbode and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundations.
The Community Arts Program Grants in this category are recommended by the Foundation’s Community Arts Panel composed of Bay Area practicing artists representative of the rich diversity of the local arts community. Members participating on the Community Arts Panel in 2013 were: Kevin Chen, Visual Artist; Jose Navarrete, Theater Artist; Amara Tabor-Smith, Choreographer, Dancer; Jim Santi Owen, Composer, Musician; Erika Chong Shuch, Choreographer, Dancer; Lisa Steindler, Director, Actor.
