Unrestricted, Named Funds

People who care about this community can support the many non-profits working to improve the quality of life here with a single gift to PCF.

Friends & Fellows gifts support the Foundation's local grant making programs.

These are a few of the projects the Pasadena Community Foundation funded this year with the support of Foundation Fellows and Friends. 

• Arts & Culture
  sound and audio-visual equipment (Parson's Nose Productions)

Named endowment funds can provide long term support for changing community needs and create a lasting charitable legacy

Peggy Phelps Endowment Fund

In 1996, Peggy was a founding member of the Fellows Fund, a program launched to encourage community support for the Pasadena Community Foundation.  For years, she may annual gifts to the Fellows Fund.  In 2007 she agreed to endow her annual gift by establishing a permanent unrestricted endowment fund that would support the grant making programs of the Foundation.  “I love this community.  My endowment fund at the Foundation is part of the way I can leave a legacy for Pasadena.”
