Jim and Barabara Thompson

December 15, 2009 – Every wedding anniversary, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Christmas since 2002, honorary trustee Jim Thompson adds to his wife Barbara's scholarship fund at the Foundation.

Why? "Because it's important to her," Jim said simply.

Barbara served for many years on the Santa Cruz City School Board and is passionate about education. She makes a point of attending the graduation ceremony of every student that receives a scholarship from her fund and is always there to hand out the award.

Being a hero at home—and in the community—like Jim and Barbara is easy.  E-mail Robin Larsen or call (831) 477-0800 ext. 208 and find out how.


Finding Solutions

Foundation donors include individuals, families, businesses and nonprofit organizations.  The Foundation blends local knowledge, permanence and maximum tax benefits with personalized service for our donors, who are as varied as the causes they care about.



"We started a gift annuity at the Foundation that will provide us with
lifetime payments. Ultimately, our gift will be added to an endowment for
Hospice Caring Project, in honor of our friend, Dr. Richard Shapiro."
