WHERE TECHNOLOGY EMPOWERS PEOPLE.
MISSION & PURPOSE
Community Innovations Foundation is a California nonprofit that strengthens the connection between students, communities, and local businesses.
We believe that when people share knowledge and support local enterprise, resources circulate more fairly, communities become stronger, and everyone benefits. Through collaborative projects, speaker events, and skill-building programs, we’re cultivating a new model of community growth: one powered by connection, creativity, and shared impact.
