Get Involved

Local family foundations meet quarterly for engaging presentations and peer learning opportunities to bolster their knowledge and impact on the issues they care about most. Membership with the Family Foundation Alliance provides opportunities to connect with other local foundations to explore strategies for being more effective, impactful, and engaged in achieving philanthropic objectives.

The Impact Philanthropy program was created by charitably minded professionals and emerging leaders living and working in Orange County. Each year members participate in a 6-month grant-making cycle which aligns to a specific cause, where they donate a contribution, pool their funds, and collaboratively decide which local nonprofits will be recipients of their collective donation.

At the Orange County Community Foundation, we look for opportunities to lead and for leaders who make great partners. We invite you to join us by lending your ideas, experience, time, or resources to make a lasting impact on our community. Take a look at our work in progress and see what inspires you!

OCCF’s Collaborative Giving Days use an online giving model to match local donors to Orange County nonprofits with shared missions – from homelessness and workforce development to preserving ecosystems and supporting local veterans – to create momentum on a single shared day and leverage combined outreach efforts.
