You want to see your employees succeed in their work, in their lives, and as citizens of their communities. At the Santa Barbara Foundation, we believe that everyone can be a philanthropist. We offer several ways for your business to support employee giving.
Philanthropic Advising
Offer your employees the benefit of a one-on-one meeting with our expert Philanthropic Advisors. We can help them maximize their tax benefits and support their favorite causes strategically with customized philanthropic plans, no matter how simple or complex their charitable goals.
