FUND PROFILE

Jud & Marilyn Roberts Endowment Fund for Education

The Jud & Marilyn Roberts Endowment for Education supports Pasadena Community Foundation’s grantmaking in education. Established by their family, the fund honors the Roberts’ long-standing dedication to supporting educational opportunities in the community they called home.

OVERVIEW

About the Fund

Jud & Marilyn Roberts lived in San Marino for over 50 years with their four children. They became engaged in the community both socially and philanthropically. When Marilyn died in 2013, the family set up her memorial fund at the Pasadena Community Foundation. Jud Roberts died in April, 2021, and his family has asked that those wishing to remember Jud make a memorial contribution to the Jud & Marilyn Roberts Endowment for Education, which will create a lasting tribute to their commitment to educational causes.
