We were excited to include the University of Notre Dame to our list of college annuities in 2019 where the Board of Directors has approved $104,000 to start up this scholarship fund. In 2021 due to the generosity of our donors we were able to fully fund this annuity and we are excited to see the success of our future Ingram Lee Scholarship recipients.

The 2019 wildfire season was a fire season in California, United States. As of December 22, 2019, over 7,860 fires have been recorded according to Cal Fire and the US Forest Service, totaling an estimated of 259,823 acres of burned land. 

The California Wineries have been a major part of the growth of the Ingram Lee Foundation since our inception in 2012.  Their philanthropic efforts have been amazing ranging from custom labelling of "Ingram Lee Cuvee" wine (William Selyem), Wine Tastings and trips (Arista, AldenAlli, Thompson 31Fifty, Dakota Shy) and donations of magnums.

Following the tragedies in 2019 we felt a need to give back to this philanthropic community and the best way to do this is through a scholarship for higher learning.  We are currently working with Sonoma County Vintner's Foundation to create a First Responders Scholarship for students attending Santa Rosa Junior College in Sonoma County, CA.  The Ingram Lee Foundation Board of Directors allocated $50,000 to start up this scholarship fund and we anticipate it will be operating in 2021.
Hurricane Harvey was a Category 4 hurricane that made landfall on Texas and Louisiana in August 2017, causing catastrophic flooding and many deaths.  Kingwood High School was decimated from the hurricane leaving the school and community without a high school and with the burden or rebuilding.  

The Ingram Lee Foundation was proud to team up with the Emeril Lagasse Foundation in awarding $100,000 to the school for their rebuilding efforts.

Due to the quick action of the community and faculty the school was rebuilt in record time and the community has been rejuvenated.
