Established in 1991, the Los Altos Community Foundation (LACF) manages programs, events, sponsorships, charitable funds, and programs created by citizens who care deeply about strengthening the community, making it a enriching place to live and work, preserving and expanding its historic and cultural assets, and supporting community nonprofits that serve those in need.

On our website, you'll find case studies about recent projects supported by LACF, learn about Donor Advised Funds and how you can become a philanthropist, as well as learn how you can initiate a project to benefit the community. Each year we sponsor four social events, including an award ceremony for those who've contributed the most to the community and a "friendraiser" at the Summer Solstice.

Contact us to discuss how we can help you achieve your charitable giving dreams.
