ENDOWMENT: A FOUNDATION FOR OUR FUTURE
In 2019, our community came together to plant a seed for the future: a $2 million investment to launch the San Geronimo Valley Community Center’s first-ever endowment. It was more than just a financial gift—it was a statement of trust, vision, and belief in what we could accomplish together. Today, thanks to careful stewardship and continued generosity, that seed has grown to $3.2 million. Each year, we are able to take a 4% distribution from the endowment—providing consistent, dependable funding for programs that touch lives across our community. “When the pandemic hit, I knew the food pantry would still be there for me. The Center never wavered in supporting my family,” says a food bank participant. “That stability meant my family never had to choose between paying rent and putting food on the table.”
This is the power of funding stability provided by the endowment and it continues to grow through impactful lifetime gifts, legacy gifts, and thoughtful investments.
