Mendocino Roots: Scholarships Funded by the Community
The idea behind Mendocino Roots is simple: We'll make it easy to make a difference.
The number of people with roots in Mendocino County expands far beyond the actual population residing within county lines. People move in and people move out, but once a person spends a significant amount of time calling Mendocino County home, it becomes a big piece of who you are.
We believe it is all of our responsibility to make a concerted effort to provide guidance, assistance and incentives for future generations to excel both in the classroom and in life. Mendocino Roots Charitable Foundation aims to accomplish this through The Mendocino Roots Scholarship, which is funded by donations from members of the community. The scholarship is two-fold. It not only provides as much money as the community is able to contribute, but it also connects the recipient with professional contacts that will help the recipient accomplish his or her career goals.
Mendocino Roots Charitable Foundation realizes that everyone has a different amount of money they are able to comfortably donate; that's why we have several options to choose from and encourage everyone to donate within that comfort zone.
It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do little - do what you can.
