July, 2006 – Rancho Bernardo – Nonprofits and organizations across Rancho Bernardo have partnered with The San Diego Foundation in an effort to build endowments that become a well of support for charitable causes in Rancho Bernardo, enhancing residents’ quality of life now and for generations to come.
Through its region-wide initiative, Endow San Diego, The San Diego Foundation is informing and inspiring San Diegans about the benefits of endowment. Endowments are permanent charitable funds with the requirement that the principal is never spent. The balance of these funds is invested, earning income that is then spent to support charitable works in perpetuity. As part of Endow San Diego, The San Diego Foundation and the Rancho Bernardo Community Foundation have launched a campaign – Endow RB.
