Maybe it's just us here at Gilroy Foundation, but when something comes up in November, our canned response is "let's take care of it in January"! Then, in January, all those To Dos that have piled up as so staggering that we find ourselves in February--the shortest month of the year--trying to tie up all of those loose ends.

So, here we are "doing" a LOT in February....read all about it here!

Here is a list of those scholarships, whose application forms are available on Gilroy Foundation's website’s Scholarship Page.

Applications are now being accepted by NPAG, the Search Firm that the Transition Committee and Board of Directors is working with to accept applications. The Job Description and application process can be found here.

GF YOUTH BOARD VOTES ON

In addition to learning about community involvement and leadership, Gilroy Foundation's Youth Board is also taking a hands-on approach to learning about philanthropy.

Gilroy Foundation's Youth Board is given $1,000 annually by the Board of Directors to award a grant. Their focus areas are on youth, therapeutic animals services, rescue animal services and senior citizen community programs. They set up interviews with representatives from prospective grantees. At their January meeting, Youth Board members listened to these presentations, and at the February meeting, they voted on who the 2023 Youth Board grant would be awarded to. Stay tuned in March to hear how that vote went!

Also on the agenda at the February meeting was a presentation to the students by Mayor Marie Blankley. The curriculum for 2022-23 included various speakers from different community agencies so that students could learn more about local important topics.
