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.
