Milestones and New Beginnings
Dear Friends,
Over the past year we have marked both the crossing of major milestones in the Orange County Community Foundation’s history and the launch of a new direction that will define our work into the future.
Since our inception we have now granted more than $300 million to support the work of nonprofits here in Orange County, across the country and around the world.
And with total assets of $229 million, OCCF now ranks in the top 10% in asset size and is the 14th most active grantmaker among more than 750 U.S. community foundations.
But numbers tell only part of the story. Over the past year we have taken major strides in tackling the challenges plaguing too many of our Orange County neighbors through a veterans initiative as well as ACT Anaheim, a collaborative response to the needs of youth facing poverty, academic challenges, and limited opportunities in Orange County’s hidden urban core.
We remain deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve our community together with all of you, and look forward to celebrating OCCF’s 25th anniversary over the coming year. The best is yet to come!
