About Pasadena Community Foundation
A defining feature of Pasadena Community Foundation’s recent grantmaking is its mix of local discretionary support, scholarship awards, donor-advised grants, and targeted relief funding tied to the Eaton Fire. Across the latest grants on file, the foundation moved sizable resources to Pasadena-area institutions while also channeling major gifts through donor-advised and designated vehicles. Pasadena City College Foundation received both a $320,300 PCF Discretionary grant in 2025 and a $194,924 PCF Discretionary grant in 2023, while YWCA Glendale and Pasadena appeared in multiple years with grants of $366,714 in 2025, $300,000 in 2023, and $229,592 in 2024. The foundation also supported community infrastructure through grants such as $200,000 to Heritage Housing Partners and $161,045 to LAist (formerly KPCC). Beyond direct nonprofit support, Pasadena Community Foundation administers scholarship programs for local students and funds initiatives serving children, older adults, and community recovery needs. Its overall pattern is one of place-based grantmaking with several funding channels operating at once, including foundation-directed discretionary grants, donor-advised grants, and scholarship funds.
