Contribute
You can be remembered as someone who made a difference in the Rancho Bernardo Community by making a gift today that will meet tomorrow’s needs.
There several ways to contribute:
Contribute to an Existing Fund
You may make a contribution of any amount simply by writing a check to the Rancho Bernardo Community Foundation. If intended for general charitable needs of the community, it will be placed in our endowment or non-endowment funds, or you may designate your gift for one of the following existing funds:
- RB Emergency Reserve Fund - A reserve fund to be made available in the event of a fire, an earthquake or other community disaster affecting Rancho Bernardo for supplies, equipment and food.
- RB Symphony on the Green Fund - Supports music and musical programs and projects in the Rancho Bernardo area.
- RB Smith Scholarship Fund - Open to graduating high school seniors from Rancho Bernardo who will attend an accredited, public four-year university in the state of California. Special consideration will be given to applicants who have lost one or both parents while in high school.
Create Your Own Fund
With a gift of $50,000 or more you may create a fund in your name or the name of a designee and select its purpose in accordance with your personal wishes.
Planned Gifts
There are a number of ways to contribute funds to the foundation by planning today for a later distribution of assets. A representative of The San Diego Foundation will be happy to consult with you and your attorney to recommend a plan to carry out your wishes and promote maximum financial and tax benefits to you and your family.
