The Montecito Community Foundation
The Montecito Foundation was established over 50 years ago (1966) by a group of citizens who believed its residents might wish to make tax deductible gifts to preserve and improve our unique community and quality of life.
Today the Foundation is a thriving and important way for all Montecitans to engage in that mission.
From the beautification of Montecito assets like parks and family recreation areas, to the loved and adored 4th of July celebrations, to improvements to our safety and walking paths, to the Village Green common area, to repairs and maintenance of our unique road signs and bus stops, our focus is on local improvements.
The Montecito Community Foundation is the bridge between your support and the community’s ability to support efforts and initiatives that enhance and define our special and charming community.
