In 2004 Carol Palladini and eleven women joined together to found the Women’s Fund of Santa Barbara; the first year the organization had 68 members. The original model, based on a simple premise, remains unchanged today: women pool their charitable contributions in order to make larger, more impactful grants in the community.
