Fraeda Dubin Endowment Fund & Pat Denny Endowment Fund
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.
Previous grants from these two funds have supported MCYP providing dual diagnosis treatment to uninsured clean & sober classroom youth; Youth Day Activities in Round Valley; prescription drug lock bags for the Arbor Youth Resource Center; an outreach worker to the Latino community in Fort Bragg; and Mendocino Coast Hospitality House to assist people with serious mental illness to become involved in twelve-step recovery programs.
In 2019, the Community Foundation is accepting proposals from non-profit 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.
