Santa Cruz Gives

Two Matches are Now Active! 

We’re excited to announce the launch of our campaign through Santa Cruz Gives, an incredible local initiative that connects nonprofits like ours with supporters who want to make a meaningful impact. This holiday season, Santa Cruz Gives will unite organizations across the county to inspire giving and create lasting change in our community.

Support construction of the Downtown Branch Library in the heart of our county seat to give everyone access to a vibrant civic space. As the hub of the 10-branch library system, the new library is designed to grow with the needs of all of our children, teens, and adults by providing activity rooms, a toddler area, teen center, expanded children’s library with programming space, special collections (local history and genealogy), an array of working and meeting spaces, an atrium, and a roof deck.

Your support helps kick off the final phase of fundraising, and all gifts will be matched 100% by a generous $400,000 grant from the Monterey Peninsula Foundation.
