Overview
Mission
The Fontana Community Foundation serves as the philanthropic arm of the City of Fontana, California. It was established on November 15, 2005, as a non-profit benefit corporation under Nonprofit Benefit Corporation Law for public purposes. The Foundation's main objective is to aid and assist in the implementation, improvement, and maintenance of public services that promote the health, welfare, and education of local citizens in Fontana and surrounding Communities.
What it reported doing in 2024
The primary objective of Pathfinders Day is to provide students with immersive micro-internship experiences at local employers' worksites, offering them a glimpse into the real-world environment and practices of various industries. This year students from Summit High School's Ethical Hacking program got a behind-the-scenes look at how our Innovation & Technology Department keeps Fontana's digital infrastructure safe and efficient. Students had the opportunity to connect with IT professionals and learn about the various pathways to a career in technology. A total of 83 students participated.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Investment-supported. 89% of the money available for current operations came from recurring investment income.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
