 Santa Barbara County is rich in organizations that provide meaningful experiences in art and culture. On most days, the majority of us can choose to attend a play or an art exhibit, visit a museum, hear live classical music, delve into history, or walk in a park. The Foundation devotes 25 percent of its grant budget to support cultural and recreational activities that:
- Promote the creation and appreciation of and accessibility to a diverse mixture of arts and culture
- Provide opportunities for leisure or sporting activities
- The Foundation’s grantmaking in this area is funded through the income earned from donor unrestricted and field of interest endowment funds. These are permanent funds of the Santa Barbara Foundation and supply resources for grantmaking every year.
 In 2007, the Foundation awarded $726,782 to 39 organizations in the areas of Culture & Recreation. Click here to access list of grantees.
