The most potentially powerful outcome of Endow San Diego is the genesis of local charitable foundations across the region, growing under the banner, “Endow Your Community.” Each of these new foundations attracts members whose donations create an endowment as well as immediate grantmaking funds that serve their communities exclusively.
Grant Guidelines
After two successful years of grantmaking and growth, the Escondido Charitable Foundation is proud to enter its third year of grant making and to announce the release of its 2009 Grant Guidelines.
In the current cycle, the Escondido Charitable Foundation will accept proposals for projects that will contribute to the improvement of Science and Mathematics education in Escondido.
More information about the topic area and specific criteria are included in the full grant guidelines. The Escondido Charitable Foundation will fund Science and Mathematics programs for school-aged (K-12) children and youth that are managed by educational, non-profit, or government organizations.
The deadline for grant applications is April 22, 2009 at 5:00pm. If you have any questions, please contact Kerry Helmer at 619-814-1384 or kerry@sdfoundation.org. |
The Launch of a LegacyIn 2007, the members of the Escondido Charitable Foundation launched a legacy by creating the Escondido Charitable Foundation and its current membership structure. Through this membership, half of every contribution goes into immediate grant making and half goes into an endowment that will support Escondido causes forever. To become a member click here.
Now, in 2008 the ECF members are not only continuing to add new members, but are also focusing on building and sustaining their legacy with the creation of The Escondido Legacy Society – How Will you be Remembered? This Legacy Society encourages individuals and families to include Escondido in their estate plans through the Escondido Charitable Foundation.
When you establish your gift through the Escondido Charitable Foundation, you are creating a fund that benefits Escondido forever and becomes your personal legacy of giving. To learn more click here.
