The Nepenthe Phoenix Corporation is committed to investing in the work of Monterey County non-profit groups that pertain to children, the environment, health and safety, and the arts, with a priority given to projects which directly affect the Big Sur community. Grants are funded on a quarterly basis. Project-oriented requests are given higher priority though operating fund grants will also be considered.
By supporting the community that supports us, we enhance the well-being of our community in a palpable, direct, and long-lasting way. And it is in keeping with the spirit of generosity and inter-connectedness that are at the foundation of Lolly and Bill's community giving from earliest memory.
At this time, Nepenthe gives annual grants to the Big Sur Health Center and the Big Sur Volunteer Fire Brigade, as well as providing major sponsorship of the Big Sur River Run and our annual Halloween Bal Masque.
