To cultivate a sense of community by matching charitable giving with community needs.
Since 1994, area residents have been turning to the Paradise Community Foundation to make their philanthropic giving as effective as possible. We are a public charity serving thousands of people who share a common concern – improving the quality of life for the Paradise Ridge communities.

Individuals, families, businesses and organizations create permanent charitable funds that help meet the social challenges facing our rural communities. The Paradise Community Foundation invests and administers these funds for the benefit of our donors and charitable causes that have entrusted funds to our care. Grants from the Paradise Community Foundation have strengthened our communities by assisting the educational, environmental, cultural and humanitarian organizations on the Paradise Ridge.

Paradise Disaster Relief Fund
has been established at the Paradise Community Foundation.  We have received calls or emails asking how you can help those affected by the Humboldt Fire.  The funds raised will provide support to the disaster response organizations or groups and the victims of the fire today and in the months to come.
