In 1975, Pebble Beach Company Foundation was born with a mission to provide our county’s youth with the building blocks of success, starting with literacy and education.
In the four decades since our inception, the Foundation has sought meaningful ways to support programs that focus on the educational needs of our community’s youth. We believe that education changes lives and that every child in Monterey County deserves the chance to achieve their full potential. We support this vision by providing grants to the region’s best youth-focused nonprofits who are committed to providing a brighter future for all Monterey County youth, especially those with the fewest resources
To date, the Foundation has reached tens of thousands of children and granted more than $16 million in financial support.
“This year, we awarded grants to more than 100 local nonprofits and were able to make a meaningful difference in the lives of more than 10,000 Monterey County youth from pre-kindergarten to post-graduate.”
– SUSAN MERFELD
President, Pebble Beach Company Foundation
