The James Irvine Foundation is a philanthropic nonprofit organization established to benefit the people of California. It seeks to promote social equity of America’s most populous state through its grants to expand economic and political opportunity for low-income Californians.
The foundation was created in 1937 by James Harvey Irvine Sr. (1867–1947), as a charitable organization to hold controlling stock in the Irvine Company, because his intended successor, James Harvey Irvine Jr. (1894–1935) died of tuberculosis in 1935. Since its inception, the foundation has awarded over $1 billion in grants to more than 3,000 nonprofit organizations. Today it is the largest multi-purpose foundation focused exclusively on California.
The foundation is based in San Francisco, with an office in Los Angeles.
