We’re happy to announce that Irvine’s #PriorityCommunities initiative is committing $220 million in grantmaking through 2031 and expanding to Merced! The initiative launched in 2020 with a focus on building inclusive economies in five cities critical to California’s future: Fresno, Stockton, Salinas, San Bernardino, and Riverside. The expansion to Merced provides an opportunity to leverage and scale existing partnerships and resources for greater impact, given the city’s regional economic proximity to Fresno, Stockton, and Salinas. Our CEO, Don Howard, shares: “We are grateful to be able to expand our grantmaking in these communities that are vital to California’s success so that leaders can build on their accomplishments and continue the critical work to make their local economies more equitable for all residents.” The James Irvine Foundation Board of Directors also approved $27.6 million in grants last week to support Education First Consulting, LAUNCH Apprenticeship Network, Disability & Philanthropy Forum, National Domestic Workers Alliance, Access Plus Capital, Just San Bernardino, and Borealis Philanthropy.

No college degree? No worries. Newsom unveils plan for well-paying jobs without one: Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled a plan Monday to create more well-paying career pathways for Californians who may not have a college degree. Details: https://ow.ly/i2bi50UsbZT. “Learning is learning—whether it occurs in the classroom or outside the classroom,” said Sonya Christian, Chancellor of California Community Colleges. “Credit for Prior Learning, a cornerstone of Vision 2030, creates new opportunities for veterans and working learners by recognizing their valuable skills and experiences with college credit. This investment advances educational opportunity, accelerates career pathways and strengthens economic mobility for all Californians."
