The Community Foundation of Orange is a local 501 (c)(3) organization, dedicated to providing programs and services for those in the greater Orange community. The mission of the Community Foundation of Orange is to preserve and enhance our sense of community. We fulfill our mission by making grants supporting local community needs; encouraging individuals, families and businesses to partner with us to fulfill their financial and charitable goals; assembling a diverse group of people working on community problems and convening coalitions of groups who can help fulfill our mission, and by honoring groups and individuals for improving our community. We have built a solid foundation based on a long tradition of helping bring about thoughtful, effective change. We are dedicated to establishing initiatives and programs that support families, build community, encourage higher education, and promote healthy lifestyles for at-risk youth.
