Foundation Serving Central, South Coasts Opening New Regional Headquarters

A foundation which helps support hundreds of non-profits on the Central and South Coasts is expanding its operations, with the addition of a new regional headquarters.

The Santa Barbara Foundation is opening a new center in Santa Maria. The complex on the 2600 block of Miller Road will help the Santa Barbara based foundation better serve client non-profits, as well as donors on the Central Coast. It will also provide meeting space for the Foundation, and for community events.

The nearly four decade old foundation has awarded more than $15 million dollars so far this year to support everything from social services to arts and cultural programs.

Lance Orozco has been News Director of KCLU since 2001, providing award-winning coverage of some of the biggest news events in the region, including the Thomas and Woolsey brush fires, the deadly Montecito debris flow, the Borderline Bar and Grill attack, and Ronald Reagan's funeral.
