PASADENA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

What We Do:
A community foundation is a tax-exempt public charity created by and for the people in a local area.
It enables people with philanthropic interests and a commitment to their community to easily and effectively support the issues they care about – immediately, or through their will. Donors can establish a charitable fund at the Pasadena Community Foundation by contributing a variety of assets and may - depending on the type of fund established - also recommend grants, in their name, to nonprofit groups they want to support.
The Pasadena Community Foundation was established in 1953 and has served the greater Pasadena community for 60 years. Today, the foundation continues to meet community needs through:
1. The Establishment of Charitable Funds
We work with individuals, families and organizations to establish philanthropic funds.
2. Investment and Management of Charitable Assets
We build endowment through prudent investment for long term growth.
3. Grant Making to Charitable Organizations
We provide financial support to local nonprofits through our grant making programs.
