EcoVivarium, an Escondido-based nonprofit, announced Friday it received a $15,000 grant from the John Krakauer Charitable Trust.
EcoVivarium is a nonprofit focused on providing educational experiences with the help of reptiles, amphibians and arthropods. The animals are unique not only by their species, but by the fact that more than 98 percent of them are rescues.
“We are grateful to the Krakauer Trust, Mary Jo and Stacey for their continued and growing support.” said Susan Nowicke, president of EcoVivarium. “Thanks to their support we are better able to expand the reach and resources available for our community education programs and to expand our summer programming as well.
The John Krakauer Charitable Trust was established in 2012 to fulfill the donor’s philanthropic vision of supporting programs that have a measurable impact on people’s lives. His philanthropy was guided by charitable organizations that exemplify innovation, entrepreneurial spirit, impact, passion, and collaboration.
