Grants
The Foundation considers grants
through a grant application process. Grants are for a specific purpose and
applicants must demonstrate a need, identify what is to be accomplished, and be
able to show measurable results at the end of the project. Examples include
grants for painting forest fire lookouts, funding clean up of mountain trails,
and purchase of computer hardware and software for qualifying organization.

Keith Neil Lenocker
Campership
The Foundation offers a named Grant,
the Keith Neil Lenocker Campership. This campership was first awarded in 1976
and is the oldest of the Foundation grants. It is for the express purpose of supporting children who wish to go to one and two week camps in the mountains of
Southern California. More than one campership may be offered during each year. Keith
was a camper at Camp Conrad/Chinnock and later served on the staff at Camp
Tatapochon. Both were YMCA camps and were located in the Barton Flats area of the San
Bernardino Mountains. When applying for the Keith Neil Lenocker Campership
please make sure you select that particular grant type in the on-line application. Also, please
include information about the camp you are planning on attending and the
associated fees that the Campership would used for.

Leone
Bonar Rose Scholarship
Leone
Bonar Rose was a career school secretary and loved being around children. She
believed it important to help those who weren’t necessarily at the very top of
their class, but who were inspirational in
what they did achieve. In her memory, the Bonar family established a scholarship
to be awarded semi-annually to one or more candidates selected on evidence of
their strong work ethic, perseverance, motivation, and positive outlook, rather
than on G.P.A. and test scores alone.

Donations
Donations are usually made to other non-profit
organizations for which the funds are not targeted for any particular purpose.
These groups include organizations such as the March of Dimes, the
Salvation Army, the American Red Cross, and the Orange County Rescue Mission.
The donations are usually made directly by the foundation without application by
an agency. However, we will consider a few applications for donations from other
agencies during the year. Apply Now
