Explanation & Analysis
The Friends of Carrillo Ranch Inc. is a nonprofit chartered California Educational Corporation. Its
mission is to partner with the City of Carlsbad to increase community awareness of Leo Carrillo,
the man, and Leo Carrillo Ranch, the resource made available to the public and to educators.
The Friends organization raises funds through membership, events, a silent auction and private
donations.
The Friends organization’s $10,310 donation to the City of Carlsbad will directly support the
California History & Art Field Trip Program at the Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park. The donation
aligns with two of the Carlsbad Community Values of (a) History, the arts and cultural
resources, and (b) High-quality education and community services.
Thanks to the Friends organization’s outstanding generosity, coupled with its dedicated silent
auction fundraising efforts at the annual Fiesta at the Rancho event, more than 1,200 fourth
grade students in the City of Carlsbad will be able to attend and enjoy the educational field trip
program completely free of charge.
