About the Warriors Community Foundation Established in 2012, the Warriors Community Foundation is dedicated to making a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of underserved youth in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Foundation’s signature programs include philanthropic grants, basketball court refurbishments, and ticket donations. Last season, the Foundation launched the Hoops for Kids program that donated $387,000 to local youth organizations, unveiled refurbished courts in Oakland and San Francisco, and presented the inaugural Alvin Attles Community Impact Award to Warriors forward Harrison Barnes with a $15,000 donation in his honor to Boys & Girls Clubs of Oakland. About The California Endowment and Healthy Richmond The California Endowment, a private, statewide health foundation, was established in 1996 to expand access to affordable, quality health care for underserved individuals and communities, and to promote fundamental improvements in the health status of all Californians. Headquartered in downtown Los Angeles, The Endowment has regional offices in Sacramento, Oakland, Fresno and San Diego, with program staff working throughout the state. The Endowment challenges the conventional wisdom that medical settings and individual choices are solely responsible for people’s health. The Endowment believes that health happens in neighborhoods, schools, and with prevention. The Healthy Richmond initiative is part of The California Endowment’s 10-year, $1 billion statewide initiative called Building Healthy Communities. The overarching goal of Building Healthy Communities is to create places where children are healthy, safe and ready to learn. Richmond/North Richmond is one of the 14 communities involved in this initiative, and Healthy Richmond is the name of the local effort.
