Annunziata Sanguinetti Foundation Grant

The Annunziata Sanguinetti Foundation, administered through Wells Fargo Trust Philanthropic Services, was established in memory of Joseph and Annunziata Sanguinetti, along with Attilio and Louis Sanguinetti. The foundation is dedicated to supporting charitable organizations that provide care, treatment, cure, rehabilitation, or education for children with physical or mental disabilities. Its mission specifically centers on benefiting children who are born in, reside in, or whose parents maintain homes in San Francisco, California. The foundation awards grants to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations serving children aged 21 years or under who face physical handicaps, mental retardation, or mental illnesses. The program prioritizes charities focused on a wide range of services including medical, dental, nursing, psychiatric care, and educational or rehabilitative support for affected children. Funding is limited to organizations that fulfill these objectives, and requests from Shriners Hospitals for Crippled Children, including the San Francisco location, are ineligible due to previous donations made by the donor. Eligible organizations must operate within California, with a primary focus on San Francisco, in accordance with the geographic preferences set by the foundation's donor. While applications are accepted year-round, they must be submitted by June 30 to be considered during the annual grant review meeting in September. Applicants will receive confirmation of submission via automated email, and grant decisions are typically communicated by September. Successful applicants may be required to submit periodic progress and final reports as part of the grant agreement. While the foundation does not provide scholarships, individuals seeking such support are directed to visit csascholars.org for opportunities. For additional questions or technical support, applicants can contact Wells Fargo's grant administration team via phone or email. The foundation focuses on program areas in education, health, and human services. Organizations considering applying should ensure that their work directly benefits children within the specified demographic and geographic parameters. This ensures compliance with the foundation's mission and enhances the chances of receiving funding support.
