Thank You to Our Sponsors
Santee Community Foundation sponsors are the businesses and organizations that make Santee youth programs, free community events, and civic grants possible. Every sponsorship dollar stays in Santee, CA 92071.
What do Santee Community Foundation sponsors fund?
SCF sponsorships directly fund youth sports seasons, free community events, park improvements, and civic grants in Santee. Sponsors make it possible for SCF to serve Santee residents at no cost to the families who benefit.
The Santee Community Foundation has no government funding and no national parent organization. Every dollar it spends on Santee programs comes from two sources: individual donors and local business sponsors. Sponsors are not a line item on a corporate giving budget — they are the reason programs happen.
When Barnhart Reese Construction sponsors SCF, it is funding the youth baseball season that runs at Carlton Hills. When Priest Development Corporation backs a community event, it is underwriting the free summer concert that a Santee family attends on a Saturday night. The connection from sponsor to impact is direct and traceable.
SCF sponsors are recognized as civic investors in the Santee community — businesses that believe in Santee and act on it.

100% of every sponsored dollar stays in the City of Santee, CA 92071. SCF has no paid staff — no overhead is drawn from sponsor contributions.

SCF sponsorship is civic investment — not advertising. When your business sponsors SCF, you are not buying a banner at a trade show. You are funding a specific Santee program: a youth sports season, a free community concert, a park improvement project, or a civic grant to a local nonprofit.
Sponsors are recognized on the SCF website, at all SCF-sponsored events, and in Foundation communications. Presenting sponsors receive prominent placement at events including the Santee Street Fair, summer concerts at Town Center, and the annual grant awards ceremony.
For many Santee businesses, sponsoring SCF is also the most effective way to demonstrate genuine community investment to Santee customers — because it funds programs their families actually use.
