The trees and landscaping are made up of plants and trees dating back to the time the house was built until today, including unique specimens such as the 100+ year old Moreton Bay Fig Tree. The property serves as an oasis in the middle of a concrete urban jungle. Surrounded on three sides by highways, Olivewood Gardens is a place of peaceful repose for visitors throughout the region. An Open House event is held on average six times per year to allow the public to tour the grounds and the house free of charge. 592553 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true true false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true 15 0 true 11 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true true false X HEALY VIGDERSON 6194344260 2525 N AVENUE NATIONAL CITY CA 91950 JACQUELINE L REYNOSO Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TRISH WATLINGTON DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 IRMA GIGLI MD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CATHE BURNHAM DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ELEANOR NAVARRA DIRECTOR 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHERYL HAMMOND SECRETARY 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 RICHARD L ROMNEY TREASURER 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 DENNIS M DOYLE PHD VICE CHAIR 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARY L WALSHOK PHD Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 HEALY VIGDERSON EXEC DIRECTOR 40.00 0.00 X 80585 0 9949 80585 9949 0 false false false 0 68677 507263 575940 PROGRAM FEES 900099 12203 12203 12203 719 719 0 0 0 0 11900 68677 24243 -12343 -12343 0 0 OTHER INCOME 900099 7210 7210 7210 583729 19413 -11624 0 0 0 0 89906 73762 3244 12900 0 307640 252399 11100 44141 0 23320 19133 841 3346 35066 28770 1265 5031 0 0 25080 20639 928 3513 0 0 0 0 0 0 9586 7862 360 1364 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 60275 53562 4210 2503 16176 13266 608 2302 PROPERTY MAINTENANCE 32856 32690 35 131 UTILITIES 23322 22207 233 882 CONTRACTED SERVICES 16461 10602 1873 3986 GARDEN SUPPLIES 14858 14858 46420 42803 1293 2324 700966 592553 25990 82423 273319 186744 0 0 20650 20000 0 0 0 0 2540 10320 3101796 378020 2766148 2723776 0 0 0 0 0 3062657 2940840 43582 39003 1 43583 39003 X 59842 21183 2959232 2880654 3019074 2901837 3062657 2940840 -117237 X false true X true false X X X X false false false INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY FOUNDATION 330457858 7 true true true 249258 1 249258 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1450000 1450000 1035000 276000 759000 616796 102020 514776 2723776 X 607972 24243 24243 583729 583729 725209 24243 24243 700966 700966 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The ICF Center for Cross-Border Philanthropy is a type 1 supporting organization formed by the International Community Foundation in 2008.
