About The Foothill Catalog Foundation - 

The Foothill Catalog Foundation (TFCF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by an interdisciplinary group of local residents and design professionals united by a shared commitment to help our community rebuild. Many of us are based in the Altadena and Pasadena area, where we’ve witnessed the devastation of the Eaton Fire firsthand - and, like so many across Los Angeles, we personally know families who have lost their homes to the fires.

As discussions on how to rebuild are top of mind, our goal is to make sure that the community is the priority. This tight-knit community is connected through a love of the place they call home - a place made up of intergenerational homeowners, diversity & vibrancy, and the architectural character reflected in the range of homes from small mountainside cottages to the craftsman bungalows.

These are the things that make the Foothills so beloved, and the things we cannot afford to lose.
