ASSETS, CONTRIBUTIONS & GRANTS
The continued generous contributions from our donors and foundation partners has led to an over $99 million increase in assets from June 30, 2020, reaching an all-time high of $1.91 billion. Our asset portfolio is divided into four categories that reflect the many types of partnerships between the California Community Foundation and our donors: Permanent Discretionary Funds, Donor Advised Funds, Permanent Restricted Funds and Other Funds.
