PROGRAMS
Building Community
PANDEMIC ASSISTANCE
The pandemic-related closures were especially hard for our community which relies extensively on tourism for its local economy. Our Foundation was proud to provide grants to the Mariposa S.P.C.A., the Sierra Foothill Conservancy, and the Mariposa Soroptimists Club to help span the gaps from lost funding.
MARIPOSA YOUTH IMPACT
It goes without saying that children are our future. There is no better way to build community in the future than by supporting the growth and development of our youth.
​
Our Foundation has been honored to provide funding and support for a variety of youth programs from experiences attending symphonies and operas, to writing contests and pen pal programs, and the premiere Dinner with a Scientist program.
DISASTER GRANTS
Building community means helping neighbors. From wildfires to global pandemics, disasters are devastating to individuals and other nonprofit organizations, alike. During those times, the Foundation proudly steps in to assist where it can - from distributing donated funds for fire victims or granting funds to help other nonprofits continue.
"There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about."
