Empowering Long Beach: The Don Temple Family Charitable Foundation's Impact on Our Community

At Don Temple Storage, our commitment extends beyond providing exceptional storage solutions; we are deeply invested in the well-being and growth of the Long Beach community.

This dedication is exemplified through the efforts of the Don Temple Family Charitable Foundation, established by our founder, Don Temple, to give back to the city that supported his entrepreneurial journey.

Through substantial contributions to education, healthcare, the arts, and community development, the foundation has played a pivotal role in enhancing the quality of life in Long Beach.

A Legacy of Philanthropy

Don Temple was not only a pioneer in the self-storage industry but also a philanthropist with a profound sense of responsibility toward his community. Recognizing the importance of giving back, he established the Don Temple Family Charitable Foundation nearly a decade before his passing in 2013.

The foundation’s mission focuses on supporting local organizations in healthcare, education, children’s services, and the arts, reflecting Don’s vision of sharing success with the community.

Transformative Contributions to Education

Education serves as a cornerstone for community development, and the foundation has made significant investments to support local institutions:

Long Beach City College (LBCC)

In 2016, the foundation donated $750,000 to LBCC, leading to the dedication of the Don Temple Family Charitable Foundation Math Success Center. This center provides students with access to supplemental learning activities and tutoring at no cost, fostering academic success and opening doors to future opportunities.
