Charitable Grants

The charitable grants made by the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation are the testimonials to the great work that we do. Our grantmaking has increased five fold in the last seven years, through the competitive grants process and donor advised funds.

Recent Grants Include:

$29,000 to fund the "historic structures report" in connection with the restoration of the Osuna Adobe, built in Rancho Santa Fe in 1837.

$19,000 to Community HousingWorks to fund half of the costs of a Learning Center at Los Robles. Matching funds for the remainder will be sought from community donors.

$10,000 to underwrite one lecture during the exhibition of the Dead Sea Scrolls at the San Diego Natural History Museum in 2007.

$15,000 over three years to underwrite the research of a doctoral student at the University of San Diego in their Center for Non-profit Applied Research.

Various grants in Rancho Santa Fe to the Senior Center, Community Center, Library, Historical Society, R. Roger Rowe School, Helen Woodward Animal Center, NeighborHelp, San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, and the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy.
