Avenidas is a Palo Alto-based nonprofit that has helped older adults on the mid-Peninsula stay active, connected and independent since 1969. From its flagship enrichment center at 450 Bryant Street, plus the Rose Kleiner adult day health center in Mountain View, it runs fitness, arts and lifelong-learning classes, door-to-door transportation, caregiver support, the Avenidas Village aging-in-place membership, a Chinese Community Center and an LGBTQ Rainbow Collective - serving thousands of seniors and their families each year.
Bold.org is a venture-backed platform on a mission to fight student debt by making it effortless for anyone - individuals, families, companies, and foundations - to create, fund, and manage scholarships, fellowships, and grants. Free for both students and donors, it pairs a two-sided marketplace with the nonprofit Bold Foundation, which holds donations in escrow and sends funds directly to students' schools. Since 2020 it has channeled tens of millions of dollars in tax-deductible financial aid to thousands of students.
