BUILDING A STRONGER COMMUNITY

TOGETHER

Placer Community Foundation is a place for individuals, families, businesses and organizations to invest in our community.

Through opening a fund—or joining your friends and neighbors in giving to a community fund—you can get more impact out of every dollar. We make giving simple, convenient, and tax-advantageous, so that you can give more to the causes you care about and create a lasting legacy.​
