EL DORADO COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

El Dorado County residents, past and present, turn to the El Dorado Community Foundation to make their philanthropic giving as effective as possible. We have over 200 funds that serve the needs of El Dorado County. Donors can create their own fund or support an existing fund. We are a public charity serving thousands of people who share a common concern—improving the quality of life in El Dorado County.

Individuals, families, businesses and organizations create permanent charitable funds that help our region meet the challenges of changing times. The Foundation pools, invests and administers these funds. We then use the earnings to award hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants each year to many of the humanitarian, educational, and cultural organizations in this remarkable area we call home.
