Welcome
Coastal Community Foundation is a collection of stories that tell how people are helping the community.
Coastal Community Foundation (CCF) was established in 1987 as a resource for the North Coastal communities of Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Encinitas, La Costa, Carlsbad and Oceanside.
The mission of the Foundation is to enhance the quality of life in the North Coast by directing philanthropic efforts toward community needs.
The Foundation...
- Helps donors fulfill their charitable goals
- Connects people who care with issues that matter
- Helps professional advisors help their clients
- Supports nonprofit programs and services
- Provides prudent stewardship of donor funds
The Foundation builds philanthropy in North Coast communities by offering donors a wide variety of options for giving - establishing permanent endowments, donating to existing funds or creating new funds to meet community needs.
We connect donors who care with causes that matter.

Teaching the Art of Giving . . Local philanthropists Steve Knight and David Baker created the Philanthropy Club Foundation to help children learn about the art of giving by supporting local nonprofit organizations that provide important services to the community. Over the past 18 months over 500 third grade students have participated in the project. These students have made gifting decisions of over $8,000 to 12 nonprofit organizations.
