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.

Application is opening soon.

Der Barbara Barnard Smith Fund for World Musics wurde 1992 gegründet, um das Verständnis für globale interkulturelle und lokale multikulturelle Umgebungen zu verbessern, indem das künstlerische Erbe jenseits der euro-amerikanischen Konzerttraditionen bekannt gemacht wird. Der spendenfinanzierte Fonds berücksichtigt Anträge von Schulen und Organisationen, die Konzerte für die Öffentlichkeit veranstalten, um Aufführungen nicht-westlicher klassischer und volkstümlicher Musik von Trägern dieser Traditionen sowie zeitgenössische Kompositionen für traditionelle oder westliche Instrumente zu unterstützen, die von diesen Musiken inspiriert sind und Elemente dieser Musiken enthalten.
