The Community Foundation San Luis Obispo County is a key resource for charitable donations and is among the largest funding organizations in the area. It provides charitable funds to individuals, families, and nonprofits, with most funds endowed to guarantee ongoing support for vital causes.

The Foundation has been the region’s trusted steward of philanthropic funds for 25 years; at present, it manages almost $84 million in charitable assets in 300+ philanthropic funds created by individuals, families, community-based organizations, and businesses. These assets are governed by the Board of Directors and an Investment Committee representing a cross-section of San Luis Obispo County’s business, civic, and philanthropic leaders, as well as by the Chief Executive Officer.
Since 1998, the Foundation has granted over $73 million to support significant community initiatives and awarded 1,600 scholarships to local students. In addition to overseeing its charitable funds, the Foundation collaborates with its fundholders and other local leaders to enhance the Central Coast region through strategic grantmaking and impact initiatives aimed at creating a more vibrant and equitable community for everyone.
The ideal Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) represents the power of CFSLOCO to connect donors with community leaders and organizations serving individuals and families in need to achieve positive social impact. The new CEO reflects to the region a mindset of problem-solving and innovation, seeking to understand and address community challenges.
