Funding & Transparency
The Community Foundation of Orange is a 501(c)(3) public benefit organization supported entirely through the generosity of individuals, businesses, foundations, and community sponsors. We receive no direct funding from the City of Orange, CDBG funds, or taxpayer dollars. Our work is possible only because donors like you believe in the power of community and choose to be part of the solution.
