The Community Foundation is pleased to announce $200,000 in grants that have been awarded from the Gertrude and Leonard Fairbanks Foundation Fund held at The Community Foundation. San Luis Obispo County YMCA and Transitions-Mental Health Association have been selected to each receive a grant of $100,000 to support their programs serving youth within San Luis Obispo County.
“The Gertrude and Leonard Fairbanks Foundation is pleased to make these grants to two highly qualified organizations serving the needs of young people throughout the county,” said John Henkel of the Gertrude and Leonard Fairbanks Foundation.
Working in partnership during 2016, The Community Foundation supported the Gertrude and Leonard Fairbanks Foundation Board in their process of learning more about the important work being done by the many organizations serving youth. “We are honored to announce these significant grants being made by the Gertrude and Leonard Fairbanks Foundation,” said Heidi McPherson, CEO of The Community Foundation. “These important investments in our community affirm our mutual commitment and support of local nonprofit organizations serving those in need and the importance of the issues these programs will address.”
