THE HISTORY OF THE ANAHEIM COMMUNITYtop
FOUNDATION
BUILDING COMMUNITY THROUGH PEOPLE, PARTNERSHIPS, AND PRIDE
Since its 1984 incorporation, the Foundation has continued to expand and provide leadership to meet community needs. The Foundation maintains its firm dedication to supporting a broad base of programs, services, organizations, and facilities that enrich the lives of Anaheim residents.
The Anaheim Community Foundation Board of Directors continues to offer a well-managed non-profit organization that acts as a community vehicle for accepting donations of property, money, or securities from individuals, organizations, and corporations. All contributions are returned to the community to enhance programs and services that met human needs, combat community deterioration, and aid local groups. The Board of Directors continue to provide the leadership support required in minimizing administrative costs and maximizing direct service to those in need.
As a result of its expanded leadership and reputation for sound fiscal management, the Foundation’s role as a community asset continues through its leadership of the Helping Hands program where individuals and business can choose to donate to the Foundation through their utility bills. Through this dynamic program, grants are awarded to local community organizations. There is also an allocation made to emergency utility bill assistance programs.
CREATING A CARING COMMUNITY
Giving to the Anaheim Community Foundation allows donors the opportunity to make a difference, be remembered, and enrich the quality of life in our community now and in the future. The Anaheim Community Foundation serves as a charitable channel through which worthwhile programs including arts and culture, environmental/nature, gang-drug prevention and interventions, youth programs, human service/emergency assistance, senior programs, therapeutic programs, library, and scholarships are supported.
Because of the Foundation’s minimal operating costs, donors have the unique opportunity to give locally and be secure in the knowledge that their gift will be directed to the program of their choice.
The Foundation active seeks funds from the following sources:
ACF Helping Hands Donor Program; Individual donations of cash, real and personal property, or land/securities Corporate/Organization donations; Employee Payroll Deduction/Contribution Plans; Gifts in memory of family or friends; Bequests in a will or trust; Designation as a life insurance beneficiary; Establishment of charitable trusts; Establishments of endowment funds; and In-kind donation of service. The Foundation will continue to look for opportunities to act as a Fiscal Agent to facilitate fundraising and services to those in need. In addition, the Foundation will continue to encourage all forms of charitable giving as a means of expanding the delivery of critical services that improve the quality of life in Anaheim.
