Sierra Madre Community Foundation

WHAT WE DO

The Sierra Madre Community Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to supporting our beloved city so that it thrives and continues to be a unique hillside treasure and valued neighborhood for individuals, families, community groups, and businesses.

We do this by soliciting donations to enable us to make direct financial grants, through our Grants Assistance Program, to support Sierra Madre activities, events, organizations, and programs. The SMCF also enables other Sierra Madre community groups to collect funds to support a specific purpose benefitting the Sierra Madre community in part or at large, through its Special Project Agreements Program.
