Santa Barbara Search and Rescue Foundation
Supporting the Volunteers of the Santa Barbara County Search and Rescue Team
The SBSAR Foundation
The Santa Barbara Search and Rescue Foundation was created by individuals inspired by the dedication and tireless efforts of SBCSAR. While some of our board members have personal experiences with the team’s work, all are united by a commitment to support this crucial community resource at no cost to the people they help.
Donations made to the Santa Barbara Search and Rescue Foundation, a fiscal sponsorship fund at the Santa Barbara Foundation, an organization recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a charity under section 501(c)(3) of the tax code, are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Our Mission
To provide vital support to the SBCSAR team, ensuring they can continue their life-saving work 24/7, all year round. This support includes:
Funding for essential equipment, comprehensive training programs, and necessary operational resources.
By equipping these dedicated volunteers with the tools and knowledge they need, we help maintain their readiness to respond to emergencies at any time, day or night, in both urban and backcountry settings.
Why it Matters
SBCSAR is the only search and rescue group in Santa Barbara County not supported by any other foundation or organization.
As one of the few all-volunteer groups in the area, their dedication and bravery save lives and bring closure to families during their most difficult moments.
