Building a Permanent Fund for Pasadena

“It’s part civic duty and part convenience.” I don’t have to write so many checks and I trust the Foundation to make good decisions about the needs of Pasadena.”

Wendy Munger & Leonard Gumport Endowment Fund
We all have our favorite charities.  They reflect our individual passions and our affiliations.  Lenny and I get great satisfaction from supporting those charitable organizations and institutions with missions we believe in and leaders we trust.  Our particular philanthropic focus has historically been support for education and the arts.  PCF provides an opportunity for us to stretch a bit in our giving and to support our local community as a whole.   PCF makes grants to local organizations engaged in a wide variety of programs, including public health programs and those benefiting disadvantaged children, senior citizens, the homeless, and the disabled, as well as programs dedicated to education and the arts.  A single gift to PCF supports many worthy non-profits – one-stop philanthropy.
 
William Titus Reynolds William Titus Reynolds Endowment Fund
Mr. Reynolds says that supporting the Foundation is part “civic duty” and part “convenience.” He feels strongly about supporting his community and likes that the Foundation supports a broad spectrum of agencies – he doesn’t have to write so many checks! Now in his 80’s, Mr. Reynolds has more limited mobility and does not get out as much. He trusts the Foundation to make good decisions about the needs of Pasadena.
