Nine local nonprofits will share $203,000 in new grants aimed at supporting seniors in Escondido. The Escondido Community Foundation, an affiliate of the San Diego Foundation, announced the awards during its annual celebration Sept. 25 at Orfila Vineyard and Winery.
“Our focus this cycle was to identify local programs that enhance the social and economic well-being of Escondido’s rapidly growing senior population,” said Rosemary Burson, chair of the ECF board. “With an emphasis on combating elder fraud, reducing social isolation, and improving access to basic necessities, we have selected nine outstanding nonprofits, each providing unique services that will undoubtedly enrich the lives of those seniors in Escondido who urgently need additional support.”
Since its founding in 2007, ECF has given more than $4 million to 155 local programs. It also donated the downtown community arch, valued at $1 million.
