We inspire and steward generosity to foster vibrant, inclusive, and healthy communities throughout Mendocino County.
The Pat Denny Endowment Fund aims to support school and community projects dedicated to helping youth make healthy decisions, specifically by reducing risks associated with substance abuse and enhancing protective factors. The grant program targets Mendocino County's adults and youth, offering financial support to non-profit organizations and public entities engaged in alcohol and other drug prevention and intervention initiatives. Grant proposals may focus on either enhancing protective assets and healthy choices among youth or directly addressing issues related to substance abuse. Grants range from $500 to $16,000, standing as a testament to the fund's commitment to creating substantial impact within the community it serves.
