SMSCA Foundation
The Santa Monica Sister City Foundation, established in June 1989, provides additional financial support for the programs of the Santa Monica Sister City Association. These programs include the Student Ambassador Exchange and other cultural and sports exchanges between the City of Santa Monica and our Sister Cities. The Foundation has fiduciary responsibility to accept grants, memorials, honorariums, bequests from wills, donations from both individuals and corporations and income from fund raising events. It provides endowment income for the programs of the Sister City Association. Please consider making a donation to the Santa Monica Sister City Foundation so that we can continue to support our members in their eye- opening, cultural and educational endeavors. Your generous support is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
