PACEF GROWS MONEY FOR SCHOLARSHIP
In 1998, The Pasadena Altadena Community Endowment Fund (PACEF) began with the intent of providing a vehicle to receive local grant money and contributions offered to the Pasadena Altadena Chapter of the Links, Inc., a national public service organization of principally African American women. As the PACEF matured, it envisioned an independent and more proactive role in the greater Pasadena Community. Always interested in providing scholarships to under served minority students, the PACEF decided to build the endowment so that the principle would remain intact while the interest would provide funds for ongoing scholarships.
