October marks the beginning of VCCF\u2019s fiscal year, and this evening, my thoughts turn to you and all that we have accomplished this past year together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First and foremost, we are celebrating an unprecedented year of giving! As of September 30th, over $26,700,000 has been contributed to the Ventura County Community Foundation to support:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The incredible work of hundreds of local nonprofit organizations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scholarships for hundreds of students<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cash assistance to families struggling due to COVID-19<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Financial assistance for families impacted by the Thomas, Hill, and Woolsey wildfires<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Outreach for the 2020 Census<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Farmworker housing and support for our undocumented neighbors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cash assistance for local small businesses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And so much more!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have also welcomed over 10,000 new donors to the VCCF Family \u2013 your collective generosity has been inspiring! What we can build together in the future is tremendous!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, many of you have taken time this past year to work on leaving a legacy to our community that goes on into perpetuity.&nbsp;VCCF has worked on over $98 million in planned giving this year, most of which is dedicated to serving Ventura County through our local nonprofits and scholarships for local students. Thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the coming weeks, we will publish a report that highlights our collective efforts more, but in the meantime, I hope you will join me in celebrating the power of community and to marvel at the generosity that is Ventura County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most importantly, we are grieving the loss of one of Ventura County\u2019s most influential philanthropists, Mary Leavens Schwabauer. Our hearts go out to her son David, Michael, Brianne, and the entire Leavens family. As VCCF\u2019s first female Board Chair, Mary has had a profound impact on our ability to best be of service to Ventura County and we will miss her always.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With gratitude,<br><br>Vanessa<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>Remembering Mary Leavens Schwabauer,<\/strong> <strong>A Woman of Endless Generosity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"822\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/vccf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/48578a22-3600-4b15-a910-bdf85d14df76-1-822x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24552\" style=\"width:273px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vccf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/48578a22-3600-4b15-a910-bdf85d14df76-1-822x1024.jpg 822w, https:\/\/vccf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/48578a22-3600-4b15-a910-bdf85d14df76-1-241x300.jpg 241w, https:\/\/vccf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/48578a22-3600-4b15-a910-bdf85d14df76-1-768x957.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vccf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/48578a22-3600-4b15-a910-bdf85d14df76-1-10x12.jpg 10w, https:\/\/vccf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/48578a22-3600-4b15-a910-bdf85d14df76-1.jpg 920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 822px) 100vw, 822px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sie war eine Philanthropin und Historikerin, eine Mentorin f\u00fcr viele und eine Inspiration f\u00fcr unz\u00e4hlige andere, die ihr verdanken, dass Moorpark und Ventura County lebenswerter geworden sind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Die Gemeinde gedenkt Mary Leavens Schwabauer, die am 19.
