Supporting Our Community by the Sea
Enhancing Public Safety
Building Community Outreach
Creating Lasting Change
Welcome to the Capitola Foundation
Like you, we want a safe community for our children and ourselves, as well as those who come to visit our little village by the sea.
We Give Where We Live
The Capitola Foundation is an all-volunteer non-profit; a group of local citizens whose main goal is to raise funds to give back to the community that we live in and love.
We provide financial support to the Capitola Police Department and its community partners, as well as other non-profits in the area.
Our objective is to enhance public safety and community services through the promotion of community oriented events. Every year, the Capitola Foundation hosts a car show on the Esplanade in June and a Golf Tournament at Seascape Golf Course in the Fall.
Thank you for supporting the mission and efforts of the Capitola Foundation.
