Welcome to SLOCCF
San Luis Obispo County Community Foundation
Everyone has a passion that benefits neighbors. How can we help you turn your passion into community action?
Anyone who makes charitable donations is a philanthropist. We believe that people are limited in their giving not by a lack of money, but by a lack of vision. How can we help you create a philanthropic vision?
Welcome to the San Luis Obispo County Community Foundation website. We accomplish our work by supporting local nonprofits, helping people donate money strategically, and building endowments for the future.
We focus our activities on the needs of the residents of San Luis Obispo County, California.
Please contact us. We look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
Barry VanderKelen
Executive Director
How We Work:
The Community Foundation helps people turn their passion into community action in numerous ways:
- Some people help increase philanthropy throughout the county through the Leadership Fund
- Some invest in current and future generations through the Community Needs Fund
- Some focus on a particular area or cause through Field of Interest Funds, like scholarships
- Some recommend specific grants through Donor Advised Funds
Combined, all donors actively improve the quality of life for all residents of San Luis Obispo County.
