Ravenswood Health Center

Major Grant Awards

Tipping Point Community is a vibrant philanthropic organization based in San Francisco.
According to its website, it is committed to breaking the cycle of poverty by finding "the best nonprofits in the Bay Area, funds them and does whatever it takes to ensure that they succeed." After Tipping Point's rigorous screening process, Ravenswood Family Health Center learned in November that it was chosen to receive a grant of $100,000 for core support.
Sequoia Healthcare District's Board of Directors approved in August a major commitment to RFHC with a grant of $750,000 over three years to support staffing to increase capacity to see patients at Ravenswood's Belle Haven Clinic in Menlo Park.
Kaiser Permanente Northern California Safety-Net grant of $50,000 to fund a position to public health insurance enrollment.

What was once a junk yard for broken down cars is the future site of a 10,000 sf modular expansion of RFHC. Site for the new building is next door to the clinic.

Silicon Valley Community Foundation stepped forward with a $1.2 million grant to purchase the acre lot next door to the main clinic, the future site of a 10,000 sf modular. In addition, SVCF and its donors have given $828,336 to support predevelopment costs and a buy out of the remaining lease for the Community Resource Center, which was built by families, individuals and private foundations back in 2000 in response to the displacement of nonprofits when “Whiskey Gulch” was demolished and replaced by University Circle’s high rise office buildings and Four Seasons Hotel. And for good measure, SVCF contributed an additional $200,000 to RFHC for operational support during this major growth spurt period.
