10th Annual Breakfast of Champions

The San Juan Island Community Foundation is pleased to announce its 10th Annual Breakfast of Champions grant ceremony to be held on Friday, September 24th.

The event honors our non-profits and the important work that they do. This year, a total of approximately $50,000 will be given to support 25 community oriented projects sponsored by our local non-profits.

“This is a landmark year for the SJICF and we are using this event to kick-off our new  “Making Connections” grant program which will broaden community project funding, increase project awareness among our donors and initiate our new quarterly grant cycle” according to Charles Anderson, Foundation chair.  “We will be increasingly focused on larger community infrastructure projects that demonstrate strong planning, sustainable operations and multi-organizational cooperation in execution.”

Attendance is by invitation.  For more information about the Breakfast of Champions please contact the SJICF office at 378-1001.

The Community Foundation serves as a non-profit philanthropic umbrella organization helping donors, non-profits and public organizations to achieve their goals through direct grants, organizational assistance and philanthropic resource management.
