Santa Barbara Foundation Partnership
Recently, the Orfalea Fund made a significant contribution to the Santa Barbara Foundation’s competitive grant-making, and scholarships for early care, after school programs, camps and sports programs.
As a result, many Santa Barbara County nonprofit organizations will now apply directly to the Santa Barbara Foundation, not the Orfalea Foundations, to be considered for grants.
This new collaboration will produce a greater return per philanthropic dollar and reduce work for agencies that have sought support from both foundations. In the past, there has been overlap in grant-making between the Santa Barbara Foundation and the Orfalea Foundations, and it is our desire to streamline administration and paperwork for all involved.
