What advisors are saying about us
“The East Bay Community Foundation is a tremendous asset to our community. The foundation is a valuable resource for the generous individuals and businesses of the East Bay and an essential support system to the many nonprofit organizations that work so hard to address the needs of our community.”
The East Bay Community Foundation’s Professional Advisor Leadership Council consists of estate, financial, and tax-planning professionals.
The PALC meets regularly and serves as an invaluable sounding board for the Foundation’s strategies. We are grateful to Council members for volunteering their time to help us become a better resource to advisors and their clients.
