The Carlsbad Charitable Foundation (CCF), an affiliate of The San Diego Foundation held its 7th Annual Grant Celebration on June 24 to award more than $100,000 to seven nonprofits that will broaden civic engagement, strengthen leadership and encourage volunteerism in the community.
The 2014-15 grantees are:
• Carlsbad Educational Foundation for its Carlsbad Science Day and I Love A Clean San Diego and its Clean Beach Coalition (both receiving $20,000).
• Carlsbad High School Television Booster Club for CHSTV ($10,200)
• Encuentros Leadership for their STEM Education & Career Exploration program ($11,900)
• Interfaith Shelter Network of San Diego and its Rotational Shelter Program ($10,000)
• Kids for Peace for its Friends for Friends program ($11,900)
• Sustainable Surplus Exchange, ENGAGE CARLSBAD!
Connecting Commerce and the Community ($20,000)
CCF is a thriving community foundation whereby membership, process, discernment, and verification, every dollar contributed goes to help only groups that serve the Carlsbad community.
"Communities benefit when residents are connected with each other through service," said Pam Valinet, CCF chair. "Benefits extend beyond individual residents to the nonprofit organizations that gain critical volunteer, financial, and advocacy resources. I am proud to be a member of the Carlsbad Charitable Foundation which provides ample opportunities for civic and community leadership and participation which exponentially increases the social, human, and intellectual capital of a community."
The late Matt McLaughlin left a generous legacy gift to The San Diego Foundation for use by Affiliate Foundations in North County.
"Thanks to the creation of the Live Here, Give Here Matching Program, all CCF membership generated grantmaking funds (half of each yearly donation) will be matched dollar for dollar," stated Justin Peek, legacy committee chairman and a Carlsbad Chamber member. "The other half will be put into an endowment, which is valued at more than $522,000. Our endowment goal is $10 million."
