Coastal Community Foundation

Welcome

Coastal Community Foundation is a collection of stories that tell how people are helping the community.

Coastal Community Foundation (CCF) was established in 1987 as a resource for the North Coastal communities of Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Encinitas, La Costa, Carlsbad and Oceanside.

The mission of the Foundation is to enhance the quality of life in the North Coast by directing philanthropic efforts toward community needs.

The Foundation...

  • Helps donors fulfill their charitable goals
  • Connects people who care with issues that matter
  • Helps professional advisors help their clients
  • Supports nonprofit programs and services
  • Provides prudent stewardship of donor funds
Donate

The Foundation builds philanthropy in North Coast communities by offering donors a wide variety of options for giving - establishing permanent endowments, donating to existing funds or creating new funds to meet community needs.

We connect donors who care with causes that matter.
