We are located in beautiful Southern California, in the picturesque town of
Montecito, which is situated just south of the city of Santa Barbara. Our area is not only known for its natural beauty, but for
its committment to making the world a better place. Santa Barbara is known as the "Non-Profit Capital of America," because it is
home to approximately 700 or so non-profit agencies, organizations and charities.
One of the most notable among some of our locally-headquartered agencies
are Direct Relief International,* named as
one of Forbes Magazine's "Top US Charities for Efficiency." Another unique and notable organization is
La Casa de Maria,*
which affords a serene setting to religious, educational, community service & human enrichment groups, hosting a wide array of
spiritual and educational retreats. And yet another wonderful program, considered a model for the rest of the country,
is The Friendship Center, * a warm
and nurturing program, providing respite for caregivers, as well as fellowship and fun for brain-impaired adults, just a block from
the gorgeous Pacific Ocean!
Being in the proximity of such illustrious organizations as these three, as well as the 600+ others nearby,
we here at TCA can't help but be inspired to be the best we can be for those who most need us.
As former First Lady Rosalyn Carter puts it:
"There are only four kinds of people in the world:
