Established 2004

The Mandeville Foundation

A 501(c)(3) public charity serving the Mandeville Canyon community.

Statement of Purpose

The Foundation funds the work that keeps Mandeville Canyon livable and insurable — hardening homes against fire, restoring the land that surrounds them, and tending the traditions that hold the canyon together.

Current Priorities

  1. 01

    Community Fire Hardening

    Science-based initiatives that reduce risk at the property line and the neighborhood scale — the work that keeps homes here insurable.

  2. 02

    Native Landscaping

    Replacing thirsty, non-native grasses and plants with water-efficient natives that belong to this canyon and ask less of it.

  3. 03

    The Holiday Lights

    The trademark Mandeville Canyon tradition, kept alive by the donations of the neighbors who love it.
