On this episode of the Advancing Oceanside Podcast, our host Scott Ashton sat down with Colleen O'Harra and Estela Mitrani representing the Oceanside Charitable Foundation. The Oceanside Charitable Foundation is an affiliate of the San Diego Foundation focused on creating and sustaining a local foundation to serve the community of Oceanside. Since its start around 12 years ago, the Foundation has donated $650,000 back into the community and awarded over 50 grants to local nonprofit organizations.
The purpose of the Foundation is to meet the emerging needs of Oceanside by encouraging and increasing responsible and effective philanthropy for all who live, work and play in the community; build a community endowment to provide funding annually to Oceanside organizations and causes; and give Oceanside community members a vehicle for legacy planning and gifts that will benefit Oceanside, now and forever.
The model of the Foundation is a pooled philanthropy approach allowing for their members to control the area of focus for the year. This is done through surveys sent to their member base. This year the group has chosen to focus on promoting and fostering diversity amongst Oceanside's high school students.
