About Us

We serve as the most effective funding force in supporting, strengthening and growing nonprofits in the Carlsbad community.

Carlsbad Charitable Foundation

In 2007, a group of Carlsbad residents and community leaders came together to create Carlsbad Charitable Foundation (CCF).

Working in partnership with San Diego Foundation, the purpose of this charitable foundation is to increase responsible and effective philanthropy to provide for the future of Carlsbad through a community endowment.
