Grants from The San Diego Foundation Support Our Work to Protect and Restore Rose Canyon

In July 2007, the San Diego Foundation, one of San Diego’s leading charitable institutions, awarded Friends of Rose Canyon two grants
- a $45,000 grant made possible by the Ariel W. Coggeshall Fund
- a $5,000 grant made possible by the Willis & Jane Fletcher Family Fund I.

The goal of these grants is to engage the local and city-wide community in preserving and restoring Rose Canyon as a major regional resource for its environmental, educational and recreational value. They have allowed us to hire Debby Knight as a part-time Executive Director and to pay for some of the expenses related to our work. (None of the funds pay for our legal costs to preserve Rose Canyon – these continue to be raised via contributions from a broad base of supporters.)
See the list of all 14 organizations awarded these competitive grants for The San Diego Foundation's Land and Watershed Conservation Initiative.

We are honored to be in such good company!
