The Paradise Community Foundation is governed by a volunteer board of directors comprised of community leaders, who are committed to serving donors and meeting the charitable needs of the Paradise Ridge. The Foundation’s responsibility extends beyond simply making grants that advance charitable activities. We also identify current and emerging community needs, seek additional resources to address those needs and practice sound financial management of assets.

Our Directors and staff are your neighbors who work with you to help make our community a better place to live.
