EBF CULTURAL DIVERSITY FUND In 2005 Aspen Community Foundation established the EBF (Ellen Beth Freedman) Cultural Diversity Fund in honor of Ellen Freedman, former Aspen Community Foundation executive director. Ellen’s dedication to the Community Foundation and her passion for philanthropy, most evident through her spearheading of the Latino Community Investment Initiative in 2000, inspired the Fund. Included within the Foundation’s annual grant cycle, the EBF Fund will award grants to organizations that embrace ethnic and cultural diversity. The Fund is an endowed fund with an Advisory Group comprised of Ellen Freedman, an appointee of Ellen’s, and staff members.
