Cornerstone Funds

Earnings from Community Response Funds address the most important issues facing Ventura County. The flexibility of these funds offers the Community Foundation an effective way to meet donor interest while recognizing the changing needs of the community. Contributions received, but not earmarked for specific charitable purposes go into the Cornerstone Community Response Fund - a general endowment to respond to programs that make in investment in the community and improve the lives of Ventura County Residents.
