It is our Foundation’s goal to achieve maximum impact by responding to nonprofits agencies greatest needs. Community Problem Finding and retaining affordable and stable quality office and workspace for nonprofits in Silicon Valley where office rents are among the highest in the nation. Our Philanthropic Response The Sobrato family leveraged its greatest asset — not money, but real-estate — by donating two of its office business parks and converting them into two of the region’s only Multi-Tenant Nonprofit Centers now referred to as the Sobrato Center for Nonprofits Milpitas and Sobrato Center for Nonprofits San Jose. Community Impact As of November 2008, a community of 42 nonprofit organizations are co-located on two campuses in Milpitas as well as San Jose occupying approximately 185,000 square feet of rent free office space. Each tenant receives free in-kind rent enabling dollars traditionally spent by these nonprofits on overhead expenses to be re-directed to important community programs and services. In total, the value of rent-free space being donated by the Sobrato Foundation is approximately $3.2 million annually. This generous donation not only supports the various missions and client beneficiaries of these tenant organizations, it also offers them a stable work environment that is of tremendous value (and non-quantifiable) given the real estate market climate in Silicon Valley. www.sobrato.org About SJB Child Development Centers Building Better Tomorrows... Today. The mission of SJB Child Development Centers is to Provide educational child care for children 0 to 12 years of age to strengthen and support families throughout Santa Clara County. Our mission stems from the vision of our organization''s founders. Mr. Bill Williams, our former executive director, had a desire to help parents establish financial independence by creating a safe place where they could bring their children while they worked. He also set out to break the cycle of poverty by offering education-based child care so that the children at his center would have access to the same opportunities as those from more affluent families. San Juan Bautista Child Development Center was established with these goals in mind and quickly made a name for itself by being the first in Santa Clara County to offer toddler care and before and after school care. Today, SJB Child Development Centers is synonymous with excellence in child care and is the only provider in the county to hold all four licenses from California''s Department of Social Services/Community Care Licensing (DSS/CCL) for Infant Care, Preschool and Extended Day Care. 95% of our clients are very low to moderate income and are served through 26 programs at 11 sites, all working to uphold Mr. Williams'' vision of Building Better Tomorrows for Children and Families Today.
