The Crestmoor Scholarship honors the community members who most directly endured the destruction of the 2010 gas pipeline explosion and resulting fire and especially in memory of the eight San Bruno residents who lost their lives in the disaster. The Foundation intends to distribute $120,000 in multi-year scholarships this spring.
High school seniors headed to college and community college students planning to transfer to a four-year college in the fall of 2019 are eligible to apply. Applicants must live or attend a high school or community college located in San Bruno.
Scholarship recipients must demonstrate, as the top criterion, deep engagement and involvement in the San Bruno community. Other factors that will be considered during the selection process include, in no particular order, an applicant's financial need, extracurricular activities, academic record, and examples of leadership, teamwork, and collaboration.

Community Grants Fund in Action
In December, the SBCF Board awarded Community Grants to a diverse set of local organizations doing important work in our community. The Foundation is pleased to partner with YouTube/Google.Org, which provided $100,000 of the $300,000 in grant funds being distributed through the Community Grants Fundthis year. Read the full list of 2018-2019 Community Grants Fund awards here.
As part of our efforts to reach out into the community, SBCF Board members have been hand-delivering grant checks to many of our new recipient organizations. SBCF Secretary John McGlothlin (photo above) presented a $10,000 grant check to the staff of StarVista. This grant will support the organization's Healthy Homes program to provide at-risk San Bruno parents and caregivers of children ages 0-5 with support and education to build parent/caregiver capacity and reduce the causes and effects of toxic stress.
February Board Meeting Summary
The San Bruno Community Foundation Board of Directors held a special meeting on February 6, 2019, with an abbreviated agenda. At the meeting, the Board approved a resolution expanding the charge of the Ad Hoc Committee on Board Development to include the solicitation and review of applications from community members seeking to serve on the Foundation Board and appointing Vice President Emily Roberts (as chair), Secretary John McGlothlin, and Board Member Nancy Kraus to the Committee. The Board also created a new process allowing the executive director to consider small grant requests (no more than $10,000) for projects that otherwise meet the requirements of the Community Grants Fund but for some compelling reason cannot wait for the next grants cycle. Finally, the Board conducted, in closed session, its annual evaluation of the executive director.
