In an effort to invest long term and connect our community with one of the nation’s most iconic racetracks, the Laguna Seca Raceway Foundation has established a Stewardship Fund at the Community Foundation for Monterey County (CFMC).
The new charitable fund will facilitate the Raceway Foundation’s goal of collaboration among the various stakeholders in the community, racing fans and the motorsports industry to help improve and revitalize the Laguna Seca Raceway using charitable funds. The track, built in 1957, is located in Monterey County, between Salinas and Monterey.
The Community Foundation for Monterey County is a class act and we look forward to working together in our outreach as we build toward our ultimate goal of funding improvements at the Laguna Seca Raceway to enhance the visitor experience at the facility for the benefit of the community of Monterey County.” – Ross Merrill, President of the Laguna Seca Raceway Foundation.
The CFMC administers more than 500 charitable funds for individuals, families, nonprofits, foundations and businesses. Laguna Seca Raceway Foundation’s new stewardship fund allows the nonprofit to take advantage of the pooled resources of other like-agencies for optimum investment returns and the ability to work directly with the CFMC’s philanthropic services team.
