The Swift Memorial Health Care Foundation Charitable Fund was established following the dissolution of the Swift Memorial Health Care Foundation (SMHCF). SMHCF was named in honor of Dr. Floyd J. Swift and his wife, Ida Swift, in recognition of their significant contributions to improving the quality of life in Ventura County.

The Swift Memorial Health Care Foundation Charitable Fund will carry on the Foundation’s legacy by supporting nonprofit organizations that assess health care needs or provide health care services to Ventura County residents through community-focused programs, projects, or events. Grants are typically awarded to support specific projects that are expected to be achieved within a defined timeframe—often within one year—and for projects with the potential to extend beyond the grant period, generating lasting impact and long-term multiplier effects. Typical grant awards range from $3,000 to $10,000, with a maximum request limit of $20,000.

Barbara Barnard Smith Fund for World Musics blev oprettet i 1992 for at øge forståelsen af globale interkulturelle og lokale multikulturelle miljøer ved at udvide kendskabet til kunstnerisk arv ud over de euroamerikanske koncerttraditioner. Den donorrådgivende fond vil overveje ansøgninger fra skoler og fra organisationer, der er etableret for at præsentere koncerter for offentligheden for at støtte opførelser af ikke-vestlig klassisk musik og folkemusik af bærere af disse traditioner og af moderne kompositioner for traditionelle eller vestlige instrumenter, der er inspireret af og inkorporerer elementer af disse musikker.
