Carlsbad Community Foundation, Inc.

The Carlsbad Community Foundation exists to improve the quality of life for the people of South Eddy County. The Foundation receives gifts of all kinds.

The Carlsbad Community Foundation is a charitable nonprofit organization that promotes and enhances the lives of people in Carlsbad and South Eddy County. The Foundation was established in 1978 and has been a primary supporter of education, arts and humanities health and human services and other key issues for more than four decades. At the core of our organization are the generous donors, who ove

r the years have directed their charitable giving toward endowment funds to address present and future needs. Earnings from the Foundation’s endowment funds are used to award scholarships and grants. Meanwhile, the permanent portion of the funds continue to grow and generate money to ensure funding is available for years to come. Many choose donations to the Foundation as a way to memorialize friends and loved ones who have passed away or to honor individuals for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations or other achievements. Some make donations of cash or stocks to charitable funds to support issues that are important to them. Others designate the Foundation as a beneficiary in their will, trust or life insurance policy. The Foundation provides flexibility for donors who want to focus their charitable giving of any size in ways that benefit our community. The Foundation is recognized by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) and all donations are tax deductible.
