Estancia & TeWinkle Schools Foundation

What Estancia & TeWinkle Schools Foundation does

Estancia & TeWinkle Schools Foundation (ETSF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 2003 to provide supplemental financial support for academics, arts, activities, and athletics at Estancia High School and TeWinkle Middle School in Costa Mesa, California. The Foundation was capitalized with an initial $1,000,000 endowment donation from C.J. Segerstrom & Sons, and operates with the long-term goal of growing that endowment to $3,000,000. Interest income from the endowment, currently approximately $50,000 per year, is disbursed through annual grants to the two schools, with the primary funding focus on academics. Grants have funded the Apprentice Program and Puente Program at Estancia, smart boards, computer labs, LCD projectors, mathematics and literature materials, and Social Studies reference materials at TeWinkle.

The Foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors comprising Costa Mesa community leaders, many of whom are alumni, parents, or grandparents of students at the two schools, with the principals of Estancia and TeWinkle serving as nonvoting advisors. The grant-making process is collaborative: school leadership teams identify campus-wide needs and submit substantial funding proposals, and the Board makes final selections. Revenue is sourced exclusively from tax-deductible donations (Unrestricted, Designated, and Endowment gifts) and endowment interest income; the Foundation has no commercial products, pricing model, or technology stack. The organization operates with 1–10 personnel and is single-geography focused on the two beneficiary schools, serving a student population of which approximately 65% qualify for free lunch and over half speak a language other than English at home.
