Saratoga Monte-Sereno Community Foundation

		Mission Statement

		The SMSCF is a tax exempt, non-profit umbrella organization created to improve the quality of life in the Saratoga-Monte Sereno area. The communities are working together to strengthen our local facilities, services and events including school services, library services, parks, public space, and senior services. The Foundation does this by serving the following three constituencies:
The Community At Large		The Foundation and its board serve as a catalyst with the Cities and citizens of Saratoga and Monte Sereno in addressing the needs of our community. Through grants and partnerships with start-up organizations, the Foundation reaches out to a broad spectrum of community groups including the arts, youth, health, social services, environmental, educational, religious and other local projects.
Donors		For people who love their community and have the desire to give something back to their Cities and environs, the Foundation provides qualified guidance and stewardship in helping them meet their charitable objectives.
Local Non-Profit Organizations		The Foundation provides support for specific programs and offers assistance in managing individual endowment funds.
