Donors as of December 2011
Donors to the Community Foundation include individuals, businesses, other foundations and
charitable funds, and even other nonprofit organizations. They give in many ways and and to many
causes. They trust us to use their gifts wisely to make Santa Cruz County a better place to live.
Donors to the Funds
Funds are the building blocks of the Community
Foundation. Each is a “giving account” designed
