Claremont Community Foundation welcomes new executive director
T
he Claremont Community Foundation
(CCF), a philanthropic group that pro-
vides grants to local arts, education
and social programs, has a new leader.
Aurelia Brogan, formerly the arts coordinator for the city
of Claremont, began her job as the foundations executive
director in July. She said CCF had been without a direc-
tor for some time, and sees the start of her tenure as a good
time to hit refresh.
Right now were in lets catch up a little bit mode,
Ms. Brogan said. She said the foundation, established in
1989, used to be squarely focused on giving to the arts, but
has strayed from that purpose over time. Ms. Brogan wants
to go back to the organizations roots.
I think theres so much opportunity here and so much
room for growth, Ms. Brogan said.
The foundation accepts donations big and small from
Claremont individuals, businesses and groups, and parcels
out more than $15,000 each year to organizations like the
Claremont Museum of Art, the Foothill Family Shelter and
Shoes That Fit. Grant applications are due November 2.
The foundation hosts monthly public art shows and oth-
er events several times a year, but Ms. Brogan plans to make
the group even more visible in the community.
Im going to use that marketing background, hopefully,
to really get the word out there, she said. For instance, Ms.
Brogan said, the foundation is redesigning its website and
putting a donation box at its art shows.
She also wants to reach out to the next generation of
families, since she thinks younger Claremont residents COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff
