The mission of The Community Foundation is to enhance the quality of life in the communities we serve.

The Community Foundation is a nonprofit, public charity created by and for the people of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. We connect donors with the causes they care about. Established in 1941, The Community Foundation now has nearly $54 million in assets and provides college scholarships and grants to nonprofit organizations across the two-county area. We are your center for charitable investment in your community:

We offer donors a wide variety of options for giving—establishing permanent endowments, creating flexible donor-advised funds, or donating to existing funds here at The Community Foundation.

We provide wise stewardship of donor funds through a conservative, diversified investment strategy guided by our Board with advice from our investment management firm, Wurts & Associates.

Each year we award millions of dollars in scholarships and grants to the many educational, humanitarian, and cultural organizations that make this region a better place to live for all of us.

All contributions to The Community Foundation receive the maximum tax advantages afforded by law.

On this website you will meet our professional staff and Board of Directors, hear from some of our donors and grant and scholarship recipients, and see how you can join us in creating a strong and vibrant community through charitable giving. If you are a nonprofit organization, see the Grants Schedule to see what’s being offered.

New tax-free benefit to donors

Charitable Americans now have a tax-advantaged way to give to the causes they most care about. You might use it to establish a permanent legacy during your lifetime! But the opportunity to take advantage of this provision only lasts through the end of this year, when the law that created it expires. More info
