Supporting the
Walnut Creek community and the community's youth since 1992
Thank you to all of the generous contributors who have helped the Civic Pride Foundation fund its Community Grants Program and who contributed more than $90,000 to the Splash Playground at Larkey Pool (21017) and, in 2014, who provided more than $370,000 for the new All Abilities Playground.
We invite you to consider a donation for the Foundation's Community Grants Program, which supports Walnut Creek non-profits that enhance the recreational, cultural, and educational quality of life of the community.
