Flintridge receives Partners in Education Special Leadership Award

Flintridge was selected by the Association of California School Administrators for the Partners in Education Special Leadership Award for Region XV, which includes over 20 school districts. The award recognizes Flintridge’s partnership role with the Pasadena Unified School District and our contributions to youth and their families.

City of Pasadena selects Flintridge as "institutional home" for violence prevention efforts

Flintridge was recommended and supported by a coalition of community groups and, as a result, selected by the City of Pasadena to serve as the community-based “institutional home” for local service providers addressing community violence. In addition to convening providers and developing greater collaboration in closing critical service gaps, particularly for at-risk young adults ages 17 through 25, we work with city agencies to ensure that services and policies are better coordinated to prevent and reduce outbreaks of violence.

…. Flintridge exemplifies all of the Gap Analysis conditions set forth for choosing an existing nonprofit as an Institutional Home: appropriate mission and stability; interactive ties with government and highly impacted communities; management and planning skills; and commitment to collaborative leadership …. Because of its established record of successfully promoting cooperative partnerships within the community, we endorse with much enthusiasm and without reservation the choice of Flintridge ….

Flintridge’s Curbside Consultation program has been a tremendous resource for me personally, as well as for my institution. It is an important service to the field and is providing the type of capacity building and core support that is needed by so many nonprofits at this time.

We won our second grant, from the City of Pasadena, Arts & Cultural Affairs!! I have Flintridge Center to thank for all the good counsel I have received this year. I couldn't have done it without you.
Pasadena Community Orchestra

I have greatly benefited from all the seminars, luncheon meetings and one-on-one consultations that Flintridge Center has provided. In fact, the luncheon with Wells Fargo was especially helpful. Following the presentation, I pursued a grant application and was able to secure a grant to support our Stingrays Special Needs Swim Team. Also, the one-on-one consultations have greatly assisted as we undertake a capital campaign to build a wellness center for special needs patrons using the Therapy Pool. Thank you for all you do to help nonprofit organizations in the Pasadena area. Your work helps greatly in enriching the lives of children, families and seniors most in need.
