Donate Now

The end of the calendar year is gift giving time, a time when one can support favorite charities with a tax-deductible donation.  We hope the Carpinteria Cultural Foundation (CCF) is among your favorites. 

In 2025, we selected local artist Rick Sharp to create 10 murals that chronologically depict Carpinteria’s history of the peoples that have made the Carpinteria Valley one of the most desirable places on Earth to live. CCF has worked closely with Mr. Sharp and the community to choose and approve defining images of Carpinteria’s past. We trust the murals will serve as a guide into a future that we will someday be equally proud of, through both triumphs and challenges.  Included in the envelope are nine of the ten murals. The final one is pending and expected to be completed by the end of December 2025. It represents the Mexican era. It has been conceptualized, and the images for it have been chosen by CCF.

Some of you donate monthly throughout the year, at intervals, or at the annual ask like this one.  No donation is too small.  If you would like to have the CCF continue creating monuments to the Carpinteria Valley, here is your opportunity.  Thank you!

Sincerely,
