As 2022 draws to a close, Pasadena Community Foundation celebrates 69 years of grantmaking impact – that’s seven decades of unwavering support in the greater Pasadena area. PCF’s Friends and Fellows donors are a critical component of our good work and longevity.
For local nonprofit organizations, 2022 was one of determination, adaptation, and resilience following more than two years of pandemic challenges. This year, in partnership with its generous community, PCF supported more than 70 local nonprofits and 75 individual scholars with $1.6 million in grant and scholarship awards.
