About Redlands Community Foundation
A $445,000 grant to Redlands Conservancy for the Zanja Project and ditch restoration stands out in Redlands Community Foundation’s recent giving. That award points to a funder that supports land stewardship alongside broader community needs, with grants also reaching historic preservation, public art, and general local charitable purposes. The foundation’s work centers on Redlands and surrounding communities, and its recent awards show a strong preference for local nonprofit partners rather than individual recipients. Recent grants also show the foundation funding recurring civic and environmental priorities. Redlands Conservancy appears again in a separate award for the Judson-Brown Preserve land manager, while The Citrograph Foundation received support for a downtown community art fund and Kimberly-Shirk Association received money to help with repairs at Kimberly Crest. These awards fit a pattern of project-specific support for assets and organizations tied to community life in the Redlands area. The foundation’s grantmaking also includes general charitable support through “Various Charitable Org” and “Var Charitable Organizations,” indicating some flexibility in how local funds are allocated. Across the recent list, the common thread is place-based giving directed to organizations maintaining community facilities, cultural assets, and local services.
What Redlands Community Foundation Funds
Environmental and land stewardship are prominent in the recent record. Redlands Conservancy received $445,000 for the Zanja Project and ditch restoration, and a separate $49,949 award supported the Judson-Brown Preserve land manager. Another grant went to the University of Redlands for a tree grant, showing that natural-resource work is not limited to conservation organizations alone. Arts and heritage also appear in the foundation’s portfolio. The Citrograph Foundation received $6,756 for a downtown community art fund, while Kimberly-Shirk Association was awarded $15,000 to assist repairs at Kimberly Crest. Those grants connect the foundation’s support for arts and culture with preservation of local historic property. General local charitable support is another clear theme. Two different awards went to broad charitable-designation recipients for local charitable purposes, and the foundation’s active grant programs also point to community development, social services, education, and youth-related work in Redlands and nearby communities.
