The critical programs this year's recipients support will impact the lives of generations, and we are proud to support their efforts," said Scott F. Kavanaugh, President, and CEO.

"We strongly believe that by working together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those around us. We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with such outstanding organizations and look forward to a bright future of collaboration and community impact," said Sylvia M. Figueroa, Director of Community Development and CRA Officer.

During the season of giving, First Foundation also donated to local charity initiatives selected by employees in each community we serve. These end-of-year donations were made to support the holiday programs and increased the need that our charity partners are seeing.

"Through volunteering efforts and outreach, we continue to focus on important causes in our local communities," said Emily Sukman, Community Development Officer. "The holidays provided an opportunity to bolster support to vital programs that meet community needs but also bring hope to so many."
