OUR GOAL is to promote the social welfare of the greater South Bay community through financial assistance and hands-on support.
FOCUS is placed on groups that have critical, yet often overlooked needs. Our contributions provide assistance to philanthropies that are categorized as follows:
Crisis - Support immediate life-threatening or critical needs
Intervention - Provide long-term needs of a critical nature
Prevention - Prevent crisis situations from happening
Support - Provide assistance through positive encouragement
Service - Provide assistance to the general public.
DISBURSEMENTS total in excess of $3.2 million since inception, including $140,000 in 2008-2009. One hundred percent of net proceeds are distributed to philanthropies and scholarship students. Administrative expenses are paid 100% by our membership dues.
FUNDRAISING activities, in which our members are required to participate, include a Holiday Luncheon and Boutique in the late fall, a Spring Fundraiser in late March, and a year-round Corporate Sponsorship Program.
