 Mahan Heritage Fund
Established by: Ralph D. Mahan
Established on: September 17, 2004
Purpose of the fund: The primary purpose of the Fund is to support the growth of The Heritage Fund endowment.
Background: Mr. Ralph Mahan is not only a native of Ventura County (his family heritage in the county goes back 143 years), but is also a founding board member of the Ventura County Community Foundation. Mr. Mahan belongs to one of the founding families of Moorpark and Simi Valley.
Mr. Mahan’s community involvement is evidenced by decades of service to Ventura County. He has served on the board of various organizations including La Reina High School Development, Museum of Ventura County and the Ventura County Fish and Game Commission. Giving back to the community appears to be tradition in the Mahan family, as Mahan’s great-great-grandfather, John Mahan, established the Pleasant Valley School District in 1868.
Mr. Mahan has continued the tradition of giving by establishing four funds at the Ventura County Community Foundation. He is the original founder of The Heritage Fund. |
