This group has worked diligently over the past seven years with the landlord and government agencies to secure ownership of the house and make it possible to raise funds to initiate restoration of the structure.

From these meetings, the Committee obtained the opportunity to purchase the entire 13.4 acres and designed a master plan to transform this site into a landmark Community Cultural and Visitors center.

These activities brought about the transition of the Redman House Committee to the Redman Foundation in 2001. In November of 2004, the Redman Foundation was granted 501(c)3 non-profit status as a public charity for educational purposes.

In February of 2005, the property was purchased with borrowed funds for $1.9 million.

Facing the challenges of financial strength and the ongoing deterioration of the house, the Redman Foundation Board of Directors are focused and determined to obtain individual, corporate, and government funding in order to accomplish their vision.

The steadfast mission of the Redman Foundation Board of Directors is restoring and preserving the Redman property for the enjoyment and historic and cultural enrichment of the residents and visitors of the Central Coast of California.
