About TFCF

The Foothill Catalog Foundation is a California nonprofit public benefit corporation founded by an interdisciplinary group of local residents and design professionals united by a cause to help our community in this time of need. Some of us are hyper-local to the Altadena/Pasadena area and have seen the devastation in our neighborhoods firsthand. All of us, like many people in Los Angeles, personally know people who have lost their homes in 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.
