Cecilia Fund was founded in 1892 as the St. Cecilia Club. It is the oldest philanthropic charity in Santa Barbara. Its sole purpose is to help low-income residents of Santa Barbara County pay for critical medical or dental care. Cecilia Fund pays the provider directly, and often is able to negotiate significant discounts.
