Marin Retirement Communities Scholarship Fund
The Marin Retirement Communities Scholarship Fund has helped support educational achievement in Marin County since 1994.

To date, with support from Marin Education Fund, nearly $400,000 has been awarded to qualified individuals.

The San Anselmo Open Space Fund
Established nearly 20 years ago, the San Anselmo Open Space Fund has already worked to preserve over 55 acres of valuable hillsides, canyons, and ridgelines in Marin's Ross Valley. Ninety-nine percent of funds donated are used to buy at-risk parcels of land designated by the San Anselmo General Plan. This land has been labeled as necessary to preserve in order to save vital greenbelt buffer zones, wildlife habitat, viewsheds, and access to such recreational resources as the Marin Municipal Water District lands.

Tiburon Open Space Fund
The Tiburon Open Space Fund (in cooperation with The Last Chance Committee) is dedicated to saving one of Marin County’s most magnificent open spaces from housing development. Located at the tip of the Tiburon Peninsula, the Martha Property Open Space is 110 acres of pristine grassland dotted with oaks and wildflowers that overlooks the San Francisco Bay, Angel Island, and the Golden Gate Bridge. This irreplaceable site will be lost to future generations forever if the proposed housing development with as many as 43 homes averaging 7,500 square feet each is built. For more information on the Martha Property Open Space, please visit its website.
