O Barbara Barnard Smith Fund for World Musics foi criado em 1992 com o objetivo de melhorar a compreensão dos ambientes multiculturais locais e interculturais globais através da expansão do conhecimento de heranças artísticas para além das tradições de concerto euro-americanas. O fundo aconselhado por doadores considerará candidaturas de escolas e de organizações estabelecidas para apresentar concertos para o público, a fim de apoiar actuações de música clássica e folclórica não ocidental por portadores destas tradições, e de composições contemporâneas para instrumentos tradicionais ou ocidentais inspiradas e incorporando elementos destas músicas.

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.
