Our Programs
The members of the California Highway Patrol 11-99 Foundation Board of Directors and its staff administer two programs to assist California Highway Patrol employees and eligibile members of their families: a Benefits Program and a post-secondary level educational Scholarship Program.
Since the CHP 11-99 Foundation was formed in 1981, the members of the 11-99 Foundation's Board of Directors have overseen the distribution of over $16 million in program support to CHP family members.
Throughout the California Highway Patrol 11-99 Foundation's 27-year history, the members of the 11-99 Foundation's Board of Directors have worked tirelessly to ensure that donations are used wisely and the Foundation is operated efficiently. Through December 31, 2007 revenue and expenses data certified by an independent external auditor establish that 82 cents of every dollar of revenue earned by the CHP 11-99 Foundation remain available for direct support to recipients through the Foundation's Benefits and Scholarship Programs.
