Hofmann Architecture’s owners and employees all contribute both personal time and resources to make a positive impact on the health and prosperity of our beloved Santa Barbara community. Beyond improving the lifestyles of our clients and families, we partner with local organizations to help further their missions and help nurture our hometown.

The Young & Brave Foundation

The Young and Brave Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to helping today’s youth BEAT cancer. They aim to help brave fighters and their families overcome the challenges and hardships brought on by cancer. Built on the foundation of LOVE, they exist to inspire, encourage, inform, as well as to invest directly into treatment and recovery. They do so through networking, individual fundraising drives, community building, and financial support. Their goal is to fight cancer along side those that shouldn’t have to fight alone.

Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition

SBBC promotes bicycling for clean and safe transportation, as well as the healthful benefits and recreation it offers. We fully embrace the Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition’s goals of:

• Influencing public policy at all levels of government
• Supporting youth bicycling programs
• Giving away free bike safety lights to local cyclists of all ages at Iluminando La Noche (Light Up the Night)
• Increasing awareness in the Latino community about Bici Centro’s bike shop, education, and advocacy

Youth Development

We support expanding young people’s career and personal potential by supporting three effective Santa Barbara-based non-profits. We personally support these causes with our time as: mentors, mock-interview coaches, career counselors and speakers, and on-the-job paid and unpaid internships. We also believe in giving back a significant portion of the resources that we’ve have been given — which is why at least 10% of the proceeds from every Airstream renovation is donated to non-profit and charitable organizations. We invite you to click on their logos, to learn and to join us in supporting our future together! These organizations have proven themselves to be worthy stewards of our support:

Santa Barbara County Education Office

Paid job training and unpaid student internships through the Santa Barbara County Education Office. Hofmann Architecture offers internships to students in our office in sales, social media, and design, and outside in the various construction trades.
