Everychild Foundation
The Everychild Foundation is a private philanthropic foundation based in Pacific Palisades, California. It awards a single grant of up to $1 million each year to a non-profit organization within Los Angeles County that helps children affected by disease, abuse, neglect, poverty or disability. By the end of 2009, the Foundation had awarded more than $7.5 million in grants that served 350,000 children.
The Foundation was started in 1999 by Jacqueline Jacobs Caster. It relies on member dues to fund grants; Everychild members make a tax-deductible contribution. There are no fund raising events or paid staff, and low overhead.
==History==
Caster was dissatisfied with the use of charity events to raise their funds. The production of these events can consume large amounts of time and money while yielding relatively small returns. According to the National Center for Charitable Statistics at the Urban Institute, of the 102,353 public charities reporting special fund-raising events in 2005, the average return was slightly less than 40 cents on the dollar with $5.92 billion in total production costs and a net of $3.9 billion.
Caster, a lawyer and urban planner, launched the foundation on a different model with the help of her husband Dr. Andrew Caster. It began with a membership of 56 women. In 2001, it issued its first grant for $230,00 to fund a mobile dental clinic operated by QueensCare, a nonprofit healthcare provider serving the indigent, and staffed by the USC School of Dentistry. By 2007, with 225 members, the Foundation issued its first $1 million grant, an amount repeated in 2008 and in 2009.
