The Clif Family Foundation was started in 2006 to support small-to-midsize grassroots groups led by people whose vision and commitment the foundation deeply admired. It has been proud to support hundreds of organizations that are working tirelessly to transform our food systems, enhance equitable community health outcomes, and protect the places we play by being stewards of the environment and natural resources. CFF looks forward to expanding the reach and impact of the foundation in the years to come. This includes working with more organizations to make their innovative ideas a reality and supporting a new generation of leaders. The CFF operates with the belief that we can all do more good in the world. For more information on Clif Family Foundation, visit www.cliffamilyfoundation.org.
