Even as our county has gone through so much, we at the Calaveras Community Foundation are impressed by the resourcefulness and spirit the Calaveras community has shown and by how individuals and groups step up to serve in this and every crisis we have faced. We are honored to use the resources our donors have entrusted us with to help various non-profit groups in our county respond to the pandemic, as summarized in this letter from our president.<\/p>\n<div id=\"kgvid_kgvid_0_wrapper\" class=\"kgvid_wrapper\">\n<div id=\"video_kgvid_0_div\" class=\"fitvidsignore kgvid_videodiv\" data-id=\"kgvid_0\" data-kgvid_video_vars=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;kgvid_0&quot;,&quot;attachment_id&quot;:113116,&quot;player_type&quot;:&quot;Video.js v8&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;640&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:&quot;360&quot;,&quot;fullwidth&quot;:&quot;false&quot;,&quot;countable&quot;:true,&quot;count_views&quot;:&quot;quarters&quot;,&quot;start&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;false&quot;,&quot;pauseothervideos&quot;:&quot;false&quot;,&quot;set_volume&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;muted&quot;:&quot;false&quot;,&quot;meta&quot;:true,&quot;endofvideooverlay&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;resize&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;auto_res&quot;:&quot;automatic&quot;,&quot;pixel_ratio&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;right_click&quot;:&quot;on&quot;,&quot;playback_rate&quot;:&quot;false&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Calaveras Community Foundation Video&quot;,&quot;nativecontrolsfortouch&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;locale&quot;:&quot;en&quot;,&quot;enable_resolutions_plugin&quot;:false}\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Calaveras-Community-Foundation-Video_thumb1.jpg\"><meta itemprop=\"embedUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/?attachment_id=113116&#038;kgvid_video_embed%5Benable%5D=true\"><meta itemprop=\"contentUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Calaveras-Community-Foundation-Video.mp4\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Calaveras Community Foundation Video\"><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Video\"><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2021-01-16T00:01:21-08:00\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<video id=\"video_kgvid_0\" playsinline controls preload=\"metadata\" poster=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Calaveras-Community-Foundation-Video_thumb1.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" class=\"fitvidsignore video-js kg-video-js-skin\"><source src=\"https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Calaveras-Community-Foundation-Video.mp4?id=0\" type=\"video\/mp4\" data-res=\"1080p\"><\/video>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div style=\"display:none\" id=\"video_kgvid_0_meta\" class=\"kgvid_video_meta kgvid_video_meta_hover kgvid_no_title_meta\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class='kgvid_meta_icons'>\t\t\t\t<span id='kgvid_kgvid_0_shareicon' class='vjs-icon-share' onclick='kgvid_share_icon_click(\"kgvid_0\");'><\/span><\/p>\n<div id='click_trap_kgvid_0' class='kgvid_click_trap'><\/div>\n<div id='video_kgvid_0_embed' class='kgvid_share_container kgvid_no_title_meta'>\n<div class='kgvid_share_icons'><span class='kgvid_embedcode_container'><span class='kgvid-icons kgvid-icon-embed'><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>Embed: <\/span><span><input class='kgvid_embedcode' type='text'>https:\/\/new.thepinetree.net\/?attachment_id=113116&#038;videopack%5Benable%5D=true<\/a>&#8216;

It has been a tragic year for some in our County and a challenging year for everyone. The Calaveras Community Foundation began the year on a high note. We celebrated our 20th anniversary by increasing the maximum amount for our competitive grants and awarding more grants and scholarships than in any previous year. We have now awarded more than $2.6 million in grants and scholarships since our founding.<\/p>\n<p>Everything changed with the COVID-19 pandemic, as people in our County lost lovedones, struggled with the virus, had to close their businesses or lost their jobs, and we all sheltered in place. In response, we reactivated our Disaster Relief Fund, which we established during the Butte Fire in 2015. We publicized the availability of grants for COVID-19 relief and, with contributions from a number of generous donors, were able to support organizations responding to needs created by the pandemic.  <\/p>\n<p>Please see the enclosed lists of competitive and COVID-19 related grants made this year.  With so many in our communities losing jobs and businesses closing or running at significantly reduced capacity, the ability of the Calaveras Community Foundation to continue to award grants and scholarships as we have been doing will depend on increased support from those who are able to contribute. As one suggestion, the required minimum distribution that did not have to be taken from a retirement account this year can be used to help us support many worthwhile organizations in our County.<\/p>\n<p>We urge you to continue as a donor and to consider increasing your generosity. You<br \/>\nmay contribute on our website or by sending us a check. Please indicate if you wish to<br \/>\ncontribute to a particular fund or scholarship; if not, your donation will be added to our general<br \/>\nfunds. As always, donations will only be used to help residents of Calaveras County.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you in advance.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<br \/>\nLinda Kangeter, President<\/p>\n<p>Board of Directors<br \/>\nTerry Beaudoin &#x25aa; Merita Callaway &#x25aa; Mary Jane Genochio &#x25aa; Denise Ebbett &#x25aa; Brent Harrington &#x25aa; Chyrl Hillis<br \/>\nLinda McCall Kangeter &#x25aa; Sarah Lunsford &#x25aa; Christy Maynard &#x25aa; Pam Taylor<\/p>\n<p>P.O.
