Welcome From The President

The Calaveras Community Foundation (CCF) was founded in 2000 by West Point residents Genna Hurst and Beth Childs. Their goal was to create a legacy of charitable giving, and to connect local philanthropists with nonprofit organizations that support a healthy, dynamic and prosperous community. In this fashion CCF is similar to the more than 700 other community foundations in America.

Like many community foundations, CCF is taking decisive action in 2012 to aggressively meet the emerging charitable needs of residents in Calaveras County. Thanks to dozens of supporting businesses and hundreds of individual donors, CCF has disbursed over $575,000 to a broad spectrum of charitable interests. This ongoing effort is intended to enrich the quality of life of our grant recipients now and into the future.

I hope you will take a few minutes to learn more about the Calaveras Community Foundation. There are more than 23 Distinct or Donor Advised Funds that reflect the full scope of the Foundation’s effort to meet the needs of our community.

The Calaveras Community Foundation will gladly assist you in creating your own charitable legacy. Please contact us for an individual review of how we can structure your charitable giving goals. Together we can build a vibrant community of immeasurable and lasting value.

Sincerely,

Paul Stein, President, Calaveras Community Foundation
