Children's Fund to Donate $96,000 to Local Community Colleges

Four local colleges will receive endowment checks from Children’s Fund to assist individuals who have gone through the foster care system. Students at San Bernardino Valley College, Crafton Hills College, Victor Valley College, and Chaffey College will benefit from the funds. The Bernard Osher Challenge Scholarship will then provide an additional $72,000 in matching funds to three of the colleges. The foundation has in place an initiative that will provide up to $70 million in endowed funds to support scholarship programs dedicated to California’s Community College students.
For over 21 years, Children’s Fund has worked to prevent child abuse in San Bernardino County and to ensure that at-risk children in our county receive adequate food, shelter, clothing, medical care and education; and to provide equal opportunity for social development for these children.
