Honoree: The Hutton Parker Foundation was founded by Betty Hutton, in 1979, as a way for her and the family to support their community and remains a family led foundation today. The Foundation’s unique approach includes direct cash grants to nonprofits, as well as the innovative model of investing into office buildings that nonprofits can utilize at a reduced cost. Currently, Betty’s niece Sue Parker and Sue’s sons Jess and Chris Parker run the Foundation. Since its inception the Hutton Parker Foundation has awarded over $100 million dollars of focused support within the Santa Barbara County. The foundation’s future focus is to ensure the support of the people and community of Santa Barbara County remains strong.
