Specialties

Los Altos Community Foundation serves Los Altos, Los Altos Hills and the surrounding area by promoting community building — those activities and facilities that give our community its favorable character and make it a desirable place to live and work for all generations and cultures.

History

Established in 1991.

The organizing committee for Los Altos Tomorrow began meeting in late 1990, and the first «board designate» meeting occurred in February 1991. That board consisted of twenty-​four community members representing fourteen families. Thirteen of those families became Board members of the California Corporation when it was chartered in August 1991. In 1995 Los Altos Tomorrow was rechristened Los Altos Community Foundation (LACF) to, more accurately, describe the organization and its focus. The word «tomorrow» in the older title was not descriptive enough as it was used in many communities for many different types of endeavors.

The Los Altos Community Foundation is thriving today, celebrating over 22 years of community engagement.
