Grants in the education program are made to promote long-term 
institutional development, reform, or renewal in the specific program 
areas in higher education and elementary and secondary education. Some 
programs are by invitation only, as noted below. Under its Higher 
Education program, the Foundation accepts requests in five interest 
areas: 1) Pluralism and Unity: concerns colleges and universities role in 
fostering appreciation for both diversity and the common good in our

Universities; 4) Tools of Scholarship: grants are made to research 
library "umbrella" organizations and similar collaborative entities that

technology; 5) United-States-Mexico Studies: grants are made to 
strengthen comprehensive research on the varied relationships between 
these countries (invitation only); 6) Historically Black Private Colleges 
and Universities: grants are given for capital needs and faculty

in the K-12 area are generally limited to California programs, with 
primary emphasis on public schools in the San Francisco Bay Area. Areas
