Foundation History
The Cuesta Foundation was formed on May 16, 1962, by Charles W. Oliphant and his sister, Allene O. Mayo, to continue the philanthropic legacy of their father, A.G. Oliphant.
Foundation Mission
The Directors of the Cuesta Foundation want to bring joy to their communities and its citizens by funding charitable organizations “that are making a long-term impact and serving mankind by assisting people who are in need and who have a desire to better themselves.” Organizations that can demonstrate this philosophy will be considered above others.

The Foundation’s area of emphasis are Arts and Humanities, Education, Social Services and Community Needs.
Community Projects
