A Private Family Foundation
Supporting Life Enriching Programs

Avalon Foundation is a private family non-profit founded by Lisa Stromsoe and Lori Buzzetti which primarily focuses on the children, youth and underserved of San Luis Obispo County
(as well as particular projects that pull our heart strings).
It began with a grant from our catalina island loving great/grandparents, Ray and Thena Dewey,
perpetuating a tradition of private philanthropy.
avalon foundation is named in their honor.

     Since 1999, Avalon Foundation has been lovingly and thoughtfully managed by Stromsoe and Buzzetti. They have recently welcomed the involvement of their adult children, Nicole Stromsoe, Sean Stromsoe, Lauren Buzzetti and Heidi Buzzetti, onto the board. They lend their individual talents while also exploring their own paths and interests which have been molded by their early exposure to art, music, drama, film and sports. Our collective hope is that every child in San Luis Obispo County will have access to the same enriching experiences.

Our mission

We support life enriching programs in Art, Music and Health primarily serving the youth and underserved of San Luis Obispo County.
