The Gloria Bryce Endowment Fund


In our lifetime, there are those amazing individuals we meet along the way who elevate us, inspire us, and make us want to be better. Their energy makes us feel valued and loved. They care about making a difference in their community.

Without a doubt, Gloria Bryce was that kind of individual. We treasure the time we spent with her. She created many ripple-effects with her generosity and good work. We miss her dearly, and we hold close our memories of Gloria. Her thoughtfulness for her community and the arts are her legacy.

We are happy to report on the progress of the Shoreline-Lake Forest Arts Council's first endowment fund in honor of Gloria Bryce. This fund was created in 2017 to ensure Gloria's commitment to making a difference continues in the Arts Council's programming for generations to come. Gloria was instrumental in so many of our current programs. We are thankful for her love of arts education and family events. We are proud to have her name associated with our programming and we invite you to help the endowment fund reach its first milestone.

The 2017 goal for the Gloria Bryce Endowment Fund is $100,000. We've almost reached this mark. We are pleased to announce we've raised just over $90,000, but to keep the momentum going we need your support. All gifts thus far have been automatically doubled through a generous match challenge provided by Bill and Jan Schnall. Gifts up to a total of $50,000 will be matched in full, including gifts of stocks or securities.

The Arts Council is committed to cultivating creativity right here in our community through arts education, workshops and hands-on art activities -- and we help celebrate community with concerts, festivals and unique events. Please join us in building a legacy.

We’d like to thank those who have already given in honor of Gloria Bryce. A full list of contributors can be found on our website here.

The Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to cultivate creativity and inspire our community through the arts.
