PROFILE: Established in 1994, the Legacy Endowment is a community foundation based in Bonsall and Fallbrook, California. It accepts contributions from donors, holds funds in trust and distributes them according to the donors’ interests. The foundation aims to "improve the quality of life in our communities by empowering individuals, families, businesses and our charitable partners to realize their philanthropic dreams now and for future generations, through responsible philanthropy.” It funds local efforts for education, health, youth, seniors, basic needs and other community services.
The Legacy Endowment awards grants to improve the quality of life in local communities and respond to community needs. Therefore, it supports a wide range of causes at the local level. Past grants have gone to senior centers, medical centers, educational scholarships, churches and groups that provide basic needs services in the community. The funder has also created emergency funds in times of crisis to respond to urgent needs.
Grants range between about $5,000 and $100,000. Learn more about this funder’s local giving by examining its recent tax records. Grantmaking focuses on San Diego’s North County. Past local grantees include the Boys and Girls Club of Oceanside, Children’s Hospital of LA and Cornerstone Therapeutic Riding Center.
