About Lee-Kahn Foundation
The Lee-Kahn Foundation makes modest, local-focused grants concentrated on community arts, basic needs, and neighborhood institutions. Their giving is largely unrestricted general support and favors performing arts organizations and community service providers in the Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley region, with occasional gifts to local health and independent school causes. They often make repeat gifts to preferred local arts groups while also funding food security and community healthcare.
