ENDOWMENT FUND
BUILD A BETTER TOMORROW
The Endowment Fund is the wellspring for the Santa Ynez Valley Foundation’s giving. Donations collected from the community continue to build the Fund with the goal of perpetually funding excellent and effective service programs, education programs, health services, senior and youth services and arts & cultural projects for the entire community.

SCHOLARSHIP FUND
CHANGE A LIFE
Donations to the Santa Ynez Valley Foundation College Scholarship Fund make a lasting impact by opening doors for local students to pursue higher education.
A scholarship is more than financial aid—it’s a vote of confidence that tells students their hard work, dreams, and potential are worth the investment.
