Rancho Santa Fe Foundation Grants
The Rancho Santa Fe Foundation is a community-centered philanthropic organization that has undertaken the support of many fine causes including:
Barrio Logan College Institute
San Diego Childrens Choir
Interfaith Community Services
Local AFIG (Armed Forces Interest Group)
Mira Costa College Foundation
Monarch School (for homeless children)
North County Trade Tech High
San Diego Pubic Library

…and so many others.
The Rancho Santa Fe Foundation may be primarily funded by residents of Rancho Santa Fe, but their generosity goes far in making the lives of the less fortunate so much better. And though the Foundation is centered in the Ranch, donations would be welcomed from any and all. This taken, directly from their site, explains the Foundation’s simplicity and efficiency:
