  • 1915 - CCF is established as a charitable giving option within the trust department of Security Pacific Bank. For the next 65 years, the foundation, which was affectionately known as the “typewriter foundation,” stayed relatively small, making small grants mostly for equipment and capital. 1980 - The foundation reaches $20 million in assets. 1986 – When the AIDS epidemic begins ravaging the Los Angeles community, CCF and donors take the lead in addressing prevention, treatment and social services, funding vital programs that are deemed “too controversial” by government agencies. 1997 – Peter Drucker, the father of modern management, names CCF one of the 10 best-managed nonprofits in the U.S. 2000 – CCF grows to $530 million in assets. Fueled by a strong stock market and escalating Southern California real estate, donors and their advisors increasingly used the foundation as a primary philanthropic vehicle. Reflecting this growth, grants also grew during this time, and the foundation built a reputation for philanthropic entrepreneurship and risk-taking. 2004 - Antonia Hernández joined the California Community Foundation as President & CEO. 2006 – In October, the foundation announces a $200 million bequest from the late philanthropist Joan Palevsky, a former wife of Max Palevsky. Her unrestricted gift is CCF’s largest to date, boosting its assets to more than $1 billion and doubling its community grantmaking to about $20 million annually. 2008 – The foundation has $1 billion in assets, managing 1,500 unique charitable funds.
