Grant Guidelines: 2014-2015 Grant Cycle Cycle 3: Civil Society and Civic Engagement and Leadership The Rancho Bernardo Community Foundation is in its 26th year of grantmaking to enhance the quality of life for those who live, work and play in Rancho Bernardo.
In the current cycle, the Rancho Bernardo Community Foundation will accept proposals that demonstrate the power to build a more vibrant and civically engaged community. The goal of the grant cycle is to support programs that enhance the community of Rancho Bernardo. Desirable projects will increase dialogue and participation, inspire community pride and revitalization and increase the broader participation of the community.
Nonprofit organizations are invited to submit project proposals specifically for Rancho Bernardo that demonstrate the power to build a more vibrant and civically engaged community. These projects should be practical, achievable within a 12-month time frame, and have prospects for long-term sustainability. The Barona Band of Mission Indians. California's Education Tribe The Barona Band of Mission Indians believes that education is the key to successful cultural relationships and the foundation for our future.
To this effort, the Barona Band of Mission Indians created the Barona Indian Charter School to provide important educational opportunities for children on the Barona Indian Reservation and throughout the local San Diego community. With funding from the Tribe, the Barona Indian Charter School now includes a tutoring/computer center, comprehensive library, preschool program, and high school classrooms. Building upon these valuable tools, in 2004 the school was ranked third of 5,270 California elementary schools in test score achievement. Our hope is to broaden the tools to inspire youth throughout California.

Charitable, speculative and free design work is regularly sought after in the design industry.
While the terms are often interchanged, there are important distinctions between them which define whether designers should accept or refuse the work. Free work: There’s no shortage of people who want free graphic design work. The most common excuses are “we’re only a small business” or “we’re a start-up company”. If we’re being honest though, this is rubbish. No retail store tells their wholesaler they can’t afford to pay for products because they’re small. Graphic design is a service like any other, and like everyone else in this world, designers deserve and expect to get paid for their efforts. While it may be tempting for students or designers just starting out to undertake free work in the hope of things to come, your time is better spent elsewhere.
Speculative work: Requests for free work are often dressed up as speculative, even though people have no intention to pay. Exploring The Hewlett Foundation's Grants. The Hewlett Foundation is committed to grantmaking that is as transparent to the public as possible.
