Education is no longer a part of our grant-making platform.
SNC is a small 4 year private college located near Lake Tahoe, a prime spot for environmental research and education. Once acquisition is complete, California State Parks will manage the land, formerly owned by a timber company, for recreational and wildlife purposes. In 1998, ABSF in conjunction with CCI created a special grant for socially minded entrepreneurs in Russia. In exchange for the capital needed to purchase business or manufacturing equipment, Fellowship Fund recipients will provide related social services in the amount of their grants to the needy and elderly in local communities who could not otherwise afford such services. These dental clinics are repaying the grant funds in the form of free dental services to elderly ve terans and pensioners in their communities, who otherwise could not afford such dental care.
