Fresno Regional Foundation

Dan spent his formative years in the San Fernando Valley. He received his bachelor’s degree in education from California State University, Northridge and earned a master’s degree in administration at the University of Southern California.

Dan spent the first 20 years of his professional life as a hospital administrator, and the last 12 as the CEO of Sierra Kings District Hospital in Reedley, CA. In 1999, he was hired by the Fresno Superior Court to create and run the court’s first mediation program. Dan left the court in 2005 to become the CEO of Fresno Regional Foundation.

Dan’s wife Kathy began her career in nursing and transitioned to the legal profession. She is currently the managing attorney of the Fifth District Court of Appeals. Dan and Kathy have one son, Angelo, who is a law student at University of California, Davis.

Every day, the Fresno Regional Foundation works to enrich youth, advance the arts, and provide essential human services.  We do our best in:

• helping donors by providing a variety of giving opportunities that meet the donors' needs while assuring that the gift is making an impact in serving the needs of the community,
• helping professional advisors by offering philanthropy resources that ensure that donors have access to information on charitable giving, and
• helping nonprofits fulfill their mission by funding programs and services that build healthy, vibrant, and prosperous communities.

We hope our track record of visionary leadership, integrity, inclusion, excellence, and stewardship will earn your trust. Contact us to talk about how we can serve you and help transform the community you love.
