Meet Your Community Foundation

Whether you’re new to the Community Foundation or already give through a Donor-Advised Fund or Memorandum of Charitable Intent, this welcoming session is an opportunity to get to know who we are and how we can support your philanthropic goals.

Learn how we partner with donors to turn generosity into meaningful local impact—through personalized philanthropic advising, flexible giving tools, and leadership on the issues shaping Santa Cruz County. We’ll offer a high-level overview of charitable giving options and share how future sessions will explore these tools in greater depth.

Bring a friend or family member who’s curious about giving back; this session is designed for anyone who wants to learn, feel inspired, and take the first (or next) step in their philanthropic journey.

Featuring:

Susan True, Community Foundation CEO,

Hilary Bryant, Community Foundation Donor Services Director

Kea Gorden, Community Foundation Chief Philanthropy Officer

All Generosity Forum events will be held at the Community Foundation building in Aptos.

We hope to see you there!
