The Community Foundation for Monterey County is a philanthropic fundraising organization based in Monterey County, California. It works with individuals, families, and businesses to establish charitable funds that support healthy, safe, and vibrant communities throughout the region. Each year, the foundation grants more than $30 million to hundreds of local nonprofits across arts and culture, community and social services, health, education, animal welfare, environment, and historic preservation. The foundation positions itself as a community leader and philanthropic first responder in times of disaster, coordinating efforts to address critical issues by convening donors, nonprofits, and public partners. Its support comes from individuals, families, and businesses seeking to improve local outcomes across health, education, arts, and social services. In May 2026, CFMC partnered with Montage Health to provide supportive services for residents displaced by the March 9 apartment fire at 800 Casanova Avenue.
