OVERVIEW

About the Fund

Hal & Marguerite Hennacy Endowment is a PCF endowment fund and provides unrestricted support for PCF’s local grantmaking programs in the Greater Pasadena area.

Hal and Marguerite met at Stanford University and settled in Marguerite’s hometown, Pasadena, after they married. Hal joined his father-in-law in the insurance business. As their family grew to include four children, they purchased the large family home where Marguerite had lived from the age of 10 years old.

Hal and Marguerite were very active in community life. A highlight of Hal’s commitment includes his 20-year board service to the Convalescent Aid Society. Marguerite was also involved in many different organizations through the years, including the Huntington Library, the Scripps Home, the Assistance League, the Girls Club, Rosemary’s Cottage, and Stanford Women’s Club. As loyal supporters of the Pasadena Community Foundation, in 2016 they decided to become one of PCF’s Endowment Builders.

“The endowment creates a lasting legacy that will help so many of the local organizations we have cared about and supported through the years.”
