California Missions Foundation

The California Missions Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the legacy of California's 21 historic missions, established by Spanish colonists in the 18th and 19th centuries. These missions played a key role in the cultural and historical development of California. The Foundation works to restore mission structures, support educational programs, and foster appreciation for California's diverse heritage, engaging the public in understanding the missions' significance in both Native American and colonial histories. Through its efforts, the Foundation aims to ensure these important landmarks remain a vital part of California’s identity.
