Florin Road Foundation

The Florin Road Foundation was created to support and encourage the economic and social development of the Florin Road Community.

The Florin Road Foundation is a California non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation affiliated with the Florin Road Partnership. The Florin Road Foundation was formed by business and property owners in 1998 to support community social and economic activities. The Foundation serves community programs that are beyond the mission of the Florin Road Partnership. The Foundation is governed by an elected board of directors. Daily operations are managed by two volunteer staff members from the Partnership.

The Florin Road Foundation provides financial support to the Florin Road area in the form of scholarships to local students and mini-grants to organizations seeking to improve the social fabric of the community. The Foundation has provided support for:

Funding Criteria

2009 Annual Report



The Foundation is an efficient and tax deductible way to support and strengthen the local community. Contributors are freed from the time consuming tasks of sorting through competing requests for limited funds and administering their own local donations. The Florin Road Partnership underwrites nearly all administrative costs so a larger percentage of donations go directly to worthy recipients. Contributors of $1,000 or more may elect to have "named" scholarships and grants. The Foundation "gives back" by supporting the community that supports our businesses.

The Florin Road Foundation has funded scholarships for local high school seniors who have demonstrated excellence in academics and community service. The Florin Road Foundation has also contributed to senior programs, local elementary schools and special community events.

Complimentary scrip cards are available from our office. Our other new fundraising program is an Internet shopping portal through iGive.com.
