Goldfinch Cafe Fund

Established 2020

This fund was established to support the work of Goldfinch Cafe – including, but not limited to, building renovations, equipment, printing and advertising, operating expenses, and costs associated with the establishment of Goldfinch Cafe as a 501(c)(3) in the future.

Following the example of the over 50 successful similar cafes in the US, under the model of One World Everybody Eats, The Goldfinch Cafe will be Aurora’s new innovative socially conscious cafe. The pay-what -you-can-community-restaurant will offer locally sourced food, bringing dignity back to the table and offering a solution to what people are hungry for today, sustainable change.

 

 

We chose the Community Foundation because of its reputation. It’s well known, established and we can trust them to do the job for us.

…you can always start small, even $25 can make a difference. Remember we can’t take our money with us. Even if it’s just your gift of time. Volunteer and get involved.

There’s no question in my mind that the scholarship I received opened up possibilities.

Marianne Renner

Past Scholarship Recipient & Current Leadership Coach

As a first-generation college student from a low-income family, I was worried about how I was going to pay for books and supplies. This scholarship will allow me to focus more on my studies instead of worrying about how to afford college. I am working to not only create opportunities for myself but to motivate future generations. Thank you so much for helping me along this journey!

A community foundation is a donor-driven organization that helps donors custom-design funds that reflect their charitable interests. Through the years, grants from these funds have made a significant impact on our local communities.

Sharon Stredde

President Emeritus

Thank you very much for supporting my college education for these four years. I will never be able to repay you for the opportunity that this scholarship has given to me.
