The Ojai Women\u2019s Fund<\/strong><\/a> was founded as an all-volunteer collective giving circle dedicated to making substantial grants on an annual basis to nonprofits targeting critical needs in the Ojai Valley.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll never forget one of my very first meetings with this dynamic and inspiring group of women who believe in the power of education as a strategy to become a team of community-informed strategic givers<\/strong>. The difference they are making can be felt throughout our region, and their results to-date are impressive!<\/p>\n

My colleague Calleen Pardinas and I had the opportunity to visit and speak recently at their \u201cVision for Our Valley\u201d<\/strong> event. The experience reminded us so much of the impressive power of a shared vision. As Peter M. Senge describes in The Fifth Discipline<\/em>, \u201cAt its simplest level, a shared vision is the answer to the question, \u2018What do we want to create?\u2019\u201d The Ojai Women\u2019s Fund is creating a community that prioritizes the arts, education, our environment, health and social services.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hanson Nature Preserve, A First In Ventura County<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This preserve of nearly 1,000 acres of river and upland habitat spans two miles of the Santa Clara River, and TNC has big plans for continuing to grow opportunities for this preserve<\/strong>. Their goals are to create a beautiful space for outdoor education and community gathering to connect with the nature and wildlife of the river, with programs such as Spanish-language bird hikes, monthly naturalist hikes, and school field trips.<\/p>\n
