Founded in 1987 as a grass-roots effort to support Elk Grove’s youth, the Elk Grove Community Foundation has grown significantly in its vision of support for the community it serves. Since its beginning, the Elk Grove Community Foundation has generated, managed, endowed, and distributed post-secondary scholarships to the area’s youth. While continuing to expand that primary function in terms of size of scholarships as well as the numbers of students assisted, the Foundation is at a turning point in looking toward expansion into other areas of support to our community.
Spotlight on Excellence – May 7, 2009
In May of each year, the Elk Grove Community Foundation holds an evening of celebration at which scholarship recipients are formally recognized. Donors and recipients are paired at this event and given an opportunity to become acquainted with each other. This arrangement has proven to be very satisfying and fulfilling for both the scholar and the benefactor.
Spotlight Elk Grove – September 10, 2009
Spotlight Elk Grove is a premier event to benefit the Elk Grove Community Foundation. This event blended a "Taste of…." type event with a service industry tradeshow. Guests receive a hors d’oeuvres plate and wine glass, a bag for promotional items, and a program for the evening with a map of the business locations in the event. This was probably the most talked about event to take place in Elk Grove in 2008.
