ENHANCING ESCONDIDO THROUGH CONNECTIONS & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT - Escondido Charitable Foundation 13th Grant Cycle
In the Spring of 2019, ECF invited nonprofit organizations and agencies to submit proposals for initiatives that enhance Escondido through programs, activities and events that create connections, increasing civic engagement to build a stronger community. Successful applications will foster community participation and volunteerism, break down walls and silos that exist in the region, demonstrate collaboration and unite Escondido as a whole.
Research shows that youth, young adults and seniors who have meaningful, positive relationships in their lives have better mental and physical health outcomes; are more active in the community; are less likely to be involved in isolating behaviors; and feel an increased sense of belonging. In addition, vibrant neighborhoods and community gatherings strengthen quality of life by creating opportunities for residents to participate in and support the common good. By focusing on these aspects of community life, this ECF grants cycle will help build a shared sense of community among Escondido residents.
Finalists will announced September 26, 2019

ENHANCING ESCONDIDO THROUGH ARTS & CULTURAL EXPERIENCES - Escondido Charitable Foundation 12th Grant Cycle
Arts and cultural experiences positively impact our local economy, generating $1.1 billion in total economy activity. Equally important is the affect arts and culture has in local neighborhoods. Artists have deep roots in communities, and their work inspires conversation, civic pride and positive, meaningful experiences within communities. That’s one of the many reasons why the Escondido Charitable Foundation (ECF) is hoping to increase arts and cultural experiences within its community.
At its 12th Annual Grants Celebration, ECF awarded $183,910 to six nonprofit programs that will enhance Escondido through interactive, publicly-accessible arts and cultural experiences.
