OVERVIEW

About the Fund

The Margaret Leong Checca Endowment supports Pasadena Community Foundation’s grantmaking in the Impact Area of Arts & Culture. This is a Fund for Pasadena, which benefits local organizations working to sustain and uplift our community.

“My passion is the arts, and so my endowment is restricted to supporting arts and culture locally. I trust PCF to identify and support worthy organizations and programs as they emerge and change. It is a way to leave a legacy for Pasadena while directing the grants to an area I care about.”
