Our History
“Through our life experiences, we have developed a passion for supporting high quality early care, education, learning differences, and experiential programs. Our family’s goal is to do our part to assist children and the underprivileged in our community.”
– Natalie and Paul Orfalea
Paul Orfalea founded Kinko’s in Isla Vista, California in 1970. The belief in a common goal and trust instilled into the culture of the company transcends the walls of the copy shops and thrives in the philanthropic work that Paul and Natalie Orfalea carry out today. Their vision is to create a nurturing and collaborative environment in Santa Barbara County and the surrounding areas and strategically impact those that are in most need.
