The Bob & Maureen* Carlson Endowment provides unrestricted support for Pasadena Community Foundation’s local grantmaking. This fund benefits local organizations working to sustain and uplift our community.
Bob and Maureen Carlson raised their four children in Pasadena, and their grandchildren have also grown up in the community, so three generations of Carlsons have enjoyed what Pasadena offers. The couple established this endowment in 2010 to ensure that future generations continue to enjoy the richness of the community and to help those who are disadvantaged.
*Maureen Carlson passed away in June 2022, and Bob Carlson passed in the fall of 2025
