California Community Foundation Reviews

Pros

Great team and work culture, very manageable work/life balance. CCF has company events almost once every month and everyone is very collaborative and welcoming with each other. Benefits include 100% employer paid medical/vision/dental insurance and a 10% automatic employer retirement contribution. Lots of peers have masters degrees so it is a very high caliber environment, but not obnoxious or pretentious at all. Career progression is better than I've seen at most companies, nearly half of the employees have been here 10+ years and started from staff entry positions.

Cons

Only major con is that the company is very firm on being 100% in office, hybrid is being explored but does not appear to be a likely scenario in the near future. Since many employees have been here for 10+ years, there sometimes appears to be a disconnect between the staff and the leadership team.

Pros

Diversity, nice people, mission driven

Cons

Growing pains, hierarchy, roadblocks every step of the way

Pros

The grants management team is a supportive, hardworking, and fun group of people. CCF works on a wide variety of programs and funding streams, which creates opportunity for learning and an ever-expanding skill set. The foundations greatest asset is the amazing people you get to work with, who have diverse experiences, skills, passions, and interests. It is also one of the best benefits packages I have ever had, with one of the most generous (not match based) retirement contributions.

Cons

I can't speak for other departments, but know that experiences can vary depending on what department you work in.
