No one knew how a community foundation would fare in El Paso when it was established in 1977, but its growth is proof that El Pasoans were eager for a mechanism to express their love for their neighbors and this part of the country.

The Community Foundation consists of local leaders managing local charitable dollars, making decisions together and standing for the basic personal ethics of American philanthropy and the effectiveness of the non-profit sector in our society. El Paso Community Foundation works for all. Come and join us – the potential is endless.
