The Pomona Community Foundation is a tax-exempt, nonprofit, philanthropic organization that was founded in 2006 by a coalition of public institutions and business leaders to improve the quality of life in Pomona.  The founders are guided by the words of the Community Foundation Partnership, Inc., "The central purpose of a community foundation is to serve the needs and philanthropic aims of donors who wish to better their community, now and in the future.  Community foundations do this by providing donors with flexible, efficient, and tax-effective ways to ensure their charitable giving achieves the greatest possible impact.”
