The Golden State Warriors have announced that the Warriors Community Foundation will donate a record $3.5 million as part of its annual grants slate this season, which tops last year’s $2.4 million as the most-ever awarded in a single season. The Warriors Community Foundation has now surpassed $35 million in impact to support education and youth development in the Bay Area since its inception in 2012.
The grants, ranging from $20,000 to $150,000, will be awarded to 62 Bay Area non-profits, including annual flagship grants to the Oakland Unified School District and San Francisco Unified School District.
Earlier this week, Warriors players and coaches made personal calls to various recipients of the 2023-24 Warriors Community Foundation season grants to inform them of their funds. Warriors Head Coach Steve Kerr and guards Moses Moody and Gary Payton II were among the representatives to make calls on behalf of the Warriors Community Foundation.

The Warriors will celebrate this year’s grant recipients with an on-court check presentation prior to the Warriors matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers this Saturday, November 11. Nicole Lacob will join Warriors President & Chief Operating Officer Brandon Schneider, San Francisco Unified School District Superintendent Dr. Matt Wayne, Oakland Unified School District Chief Systems & Services Officer Preston Thomas, and various members of the Warriors Community Foundation board for the presentation.

In total, grants will be made to 27 organizations that operate in Alameda County, 16 that serve San Francisco County, and 19 that offer programming in both areas.
