The county-wide helping hand

Over the years, the Community Foundation has awarded eleven million dollars in grants to nonprofit organizations in Mendocino County. With its programs for planned giving, anyone can contribute to the Community Foundation and maximize the impact of their gifts by merging with others with shared interests and values. There are numerous Field of Interest Funds to choose—The Big Umbrella, Animal Welfare, Arts, Developmental Disabilities, Economic Development, Environment and Natural Resources, Health, Poverty and Safety Net, Youth, and lots of others—which multiply the power of giving. Our story this month illustrates how the Community Foundation is people-powered from top to bottom, creating opportunities in every corner of the county.

They are the reason we are so deeply rooted in local communities.” In order to get a glimpse of the many facets of the Community Foundation, this article profiles a sampling of the people who are involved with the work of the Foundation.

When creating the fund I want people to feel free to talk to us about their ideas to make the community better.” Fionna noted, “I understand the power of having someone to encourage you when you are trying to forge a career.” Another scholarship fund, opened by Marilyn Herzog as niece and trustee for Alma Mendosa, provides scholarships for students graduating from Mendocino High School. Soon after opening the fund Marilyn reflected, “Mendocino has some great kids. It is really wonderful to be able to use money my aunt and uncle saved in order to help kids that are so deserving. I know it is what they would have wanted.” Although the purposes of each fund differ, donors partner with the Community Foundation because they know they will be able to tailor a gift that meets their goals and needs. Charlene says, “Our family appreciated that the Community Foundation allows people to support those things that are most important to them or their loved one. It is also nice that the money donated is there for a long time, providing ongoing funding.”

I left the last workshop with a wonderful feeling of being part of a countywide matrix of organizations that are truly enriching our county.” “The Community Foundation is aware that it is only one part of a larger equation,” says CEO Allende. “The effectiveness of our grants is entirely dependent on our nonprofit partners. We are successful in making an impact only because of them.” ABOVE: Erich Schmid was one of the first to join the Foundation Board in the early days; Claire Ellis served as Chair of the board from 2004 to 2008; Current board Chair, Jim Little.

administrator combined with her deep understanding of local health and community issues adds value to her work on the board. “I am proud of the Foundation’s insight into our county and its willingness to invest dollars into small, emerging nonprofits,” she says. “That initial support can be so meaningful.” She adds that she has also been impressed by the knowledge and commitment of the board members. “People are on this board because they care. They show concern for each other and for the people they serve.” Most importantly, the Board stays true to the vision and purpose of the Community Foundation. Board Chair Jim Little has served on many boards and commissions in the county, but he thinks this one is special. “The Community Foundation really embraces the idea of being a countywide organization that is in touch with people in local communities. It is what makes us effective, but it is also what gives meaning to all of us who work and volunteer for the organization. We believe in this county and its people.” Anyone can give to the Community Foundation. Donations of all sizes are encouraged and you maximize the impact by combining your giving with those who share your interests and values. There are numerous Field of Interest Funds—The Big Umbrella, Animal Welfare, Arts, Developmental Disabilities, Economic Development, Environment and Natural Resources, Health, Poverty and Safety Net, Youth, and Others—to choose from in order to multiply the power of your giving.

The Board Sets the Course Real Estate Magazine and Ensures Quality Our Readers Are Your Customers! Overseeing the work of the Community Foundation is a fifteen-member board of directors that represents the county. “When the first board was formed, it included members from Fort Bragg, Mendocino, Point Arena, Willits, Potter Valley, and Ukiah,” says Claire Ellis of Little River who joined the board in 2000 and served as Chair from 2004 to 2008. “They soon discovered how rewarding it was to work with people from different communities whom they didn’t regularly encounter in their day-to-day lives. The board has always represented many different backgrounds and points of view, and that has been part of our strength.” The Board’s responsibility is significant, and no members undertake their roles lightly. Win Bowen joined the board in 2015, coming to the Community Foundation with extensive experience in nonprofit governance having most recently served (at different times) as a board member and the executive director of the Mendocino Land Trust. Win was interested in the Foundation because he liked the idea of people in a region coming together to make their community better. your ad here! “Our board is engaged, in every sense of the word,” says Win. “All major decisions, from investment management to giving, are shared between board and staff.” Win has found satisfaction in his work with the Investment and Board Governance advisory committees. “We have the fiduciary responsibility for an endowment of over twenty-five million dollars and grant-making which exceeded $800,000 last year. It’s a serious endeavor and one that must be approached with professionalism and care.” Gayle Greene joined the board because of her deep roots in Mendocino County. She and her husband grew up here and returned to live here nine years ago. “This county is very close to my heart,” says Gayle who used to accompany her father on his rounds when he Your ad in Real Estate Magazine keeps your business in the minds of over operated a dry cleaning business in Willits. “I see the needs in our county, and like being 102,000 readers a year.
