The Organization – San Antonio Area Foundation
The San Antonio Area Foundation (the Area Foundation) was founded in 1964 and is dedicated to helping residents living in and around San Antonio create a philanthropic legacy. For decades, the Area Foundation has distributed millions in grants and scholarships to educate youth, preserve the environment, protect animals, fund research and provide services that enhance the quality of life for people in the San Antonio community.
