支持本地教育工作者和学生

Since its founding in 2015, the non-profit 加州海岸关怀基金会¹ has had an outsize impact on the lives of 学生 and teachers across the region.

该基金会, established by 加州海岸信用社 as a separate 501(c)(3) non-profit, provides grants for teachers and scholarships for college-bound high school seniors, including a special program for current or former foster youth, 在圣地亚哥和河滨县.

“Our board of directors felt strongly about helping foster youth,托德·莱恩说, 基金会副主席兼首席执行官 & President of 加州海岸信用社. “The board established a special set of criteria for foster applicants including fast-tracking first year recipients to allow them to easily qualify for a 2nd year scholarship as long as they met some very basic requirements. We feel this provides these 学生 with an added degree of certainty and support that is probably lacking in other parts of their lives as they work through their special set of challenges.”

One of those former 培养学生 to benefit from the Cal Coast Cares scholarship is Alexis Tenney, who is attending Grossmont College in La Mesa. She’s applying her scholarship to pursue a career goal inspired by her parents. “Being awarded this scholarship validates all my hard work is paying off. 因为我收到的钱, I will be able to earn my degree in Forensics with little or no student debt leftover,坦尼说。.

该基金会 has also directly impacted countless classrooms in the area through grants to teachers for classroom projects in the STREAM (Science, 技术, 阅读, 艺术和数学)主题. Grants have helped with everything from hydroponic greenhouse projects to robotics, 化学试剂等等.

特蕾莎修女盆地, 4th grade teacher at Rail Ranch Elementary School in Murrieta, is one of the recipients of a recent classroom grant.  She credited the Foundation with helping her inspire young minds. “The learning that takes place in the classroom should not only be academically rigorous, 但对学生来说也很有趣和吸引人. Because of (the Foundation’s) generous donation, my 学生 will be able to use the Robotic Legos as they collaborate in teams and solve real-world problems as they explore the world of engineering and science.”

The 加州海岸关怀基金会 hosts two signature annual fundraisers: a popular golf tournament and the Illuminate Pathways reception. 该基金会 has been able to increase the number of scholarships and grants provided each year thanks to the generous financial contributions of community and business supporters.
