Pasadena Community Foundation announces the recipients of its 2021 Capital Grants Program, which awarded an impressive $659,000 to 29 local nonprofit organizations. This year, as part of this grant program, PCF was especially proud to include three larger Capital Campaign Grants of $50,000 each, created to support large-scale, transformational projects that will impact capacity, quality, and effectiveness of mission delivery. Three organizations received the special Capital Campaign Grants: Door of Hope, Pasadena Heritage, and Villa Esperanza Services.
PCF’s annual Capital Grant Program supports the infrastructure that nonprofit organizations need to carry out their mission, including equipment purchases, construction, and renovation. Projects funded by the 2021 Capital Grants include a visitor kiosk at Arlington Garden, schoolyard shade structure at the Frostig Center for Educational Therapy, new dental chairs at the Fair Oaks Community Health Alliance of Pasadena (CHAP), equipment for Parson’s Nose “Radio Theater Live,” enhanced emergency response technology for vulnerable seniors at Rosewood Court, and new equipment for enhanced shared use at the Pasadena Bioscience Collaborative. See complete list of Capital Grantees below.
