Community Foundation of Monterey County honors Martha Karstens

Each year the Community Foundation for Monterey County (CFMC) presents the Distinguished Trustee Award to an individual or couple who has demonstrated philanthropic leadership in our region. The 2023 award was presented to retired Big Sur Fire Chief, Martha Karstens, for her decades of service to the Big Sur Community. The CFMC recognized her accomplishments at the annual Celebration of Philanthropy on Wednesday, October 11, 2023 at The Club at Pasadera in Monterey, with more than 250 donors and partners of the CFMC in attendance.

  • Being an Officer in a Volunteer Fire Brigade or Company is a lot of hard physical and mental work. Doing it over many years, is a remarkable Public Service.

    Congratulations !
