Pasadena Community Foundation (PCF) was founded in 1953 with the goal to address "current needs unmet and future needs unforeseen." To meet these needs, the Foundation works with local families and groups to meet their charitable goals – to build their “hometown legacies” – to provide enduring support for its mission to improve and enrich the lives of people in the greater Pasadena area. Now, seventy years after its inception, the public-spirited organization remains unique in its support of broad-spectrum charities from arts organizations to human services agencies. In 2022, PCF granted $11 million; $2.6 million of that total went directly to Pasadena-area nonprofit organizations. Through an annual competitive application process, grants are awarded to Pasadena nonprofits from endowments for which the PCF Board has discretion. Additional grants are generated through donor advised funds, family foundation funds, and other charitable funds where individuals or advisory committees direct the grants to charities anywhere in the country.

As one of the largest medical societies in the United States, the Orange County Medical Association (OCMA) keeps a close eye on changes in health care, serving a “watchdog” role on local, state, and national legislation as it affects medicine. Today, health care consumers are bombarded with varying ideas about health care, bioethics, health planning, emergency services and reimbursement policies. OCMA has established committees to study these and other current health care concerns. OCMA provides physicians with the opportunity to keep in contact with each other, discuss new technologies, exchange clinical information, and learn of the environmental changes in medical care that are sweeping the nation. OCMA is a local chapter of the California Medical Association (CMA), under the national umbrella of the American Medical Association (AMA).
