Grant Description
Grants of up to $7,500 to California nonprofit organizations and government agencies for substance abuse prevention and treatment programs in eligible regions. Funding is intended for programs and projects that benefit youth and adults. Activities must benefit residents of Mendocino County.

Fraeda Dubin truly was a Renaissance woman. An intellectual, an academic, and a world traveler, Fraeda gave generously to her community. She also experienced the sadness that results from watching a loved one’s life become derailed by substance abuse. For this reason, she created an estate plan to provide ongoing grants to programs that address problems of substance abuse.

Pat Denny was a community activist who worked tirelessly for many causes, including the County’s Alcohol and Other Drug Program that established this fund in her honor. The Pat Denny Endowment Fund assists school and community projects that support youth in making healthy choices by mitigating risks related to substance abuse and building “protective” assets.

The goal of the fund is to provide grants to nonprofit organizations and public entities involved in the delivery of Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention and Intervention programs and activities for Mendocino County adults and youth.

Proposals may include:

  • School and community projects that support youth in making healthy choices by mitigating risks related to substance abuse and building “protective” assets; or
  • Support of programs/projects that address problems of substance abuse.
