Bread & Roses

Bread & Roses is the Fund for Santa Barbara’s largest annual fundraiser and community celebration. It is a time for community activists, donors, volunteers, elected leaders, and supporters of progressive social change to gather, celebrate our work together and raise money for the Fund’s grant-making and technical assistance programs. With nearly 800 attendees, it is also one of the largest events of its kind on the Central Coast. This year’s event will once again feature a gourmet buffet-style dinner from our region’s finest restaurants, wines from local vintners and both a live and silent auction. Nearly all items and services are donated, allowing us to make the event accessible for all and still ensure that 85 cents of every dollar donated goes to the work of the Fund.
