Shutterfly Foundation

Our Vision: Make the world a better place by helping people share life’s joy. This inspired us to create Shutterfly Foundation whose mission is to help organizations, institutions and communities harness the power of sharing motivational stories.

Foundation Overview

The Shutterfly Foundation was launched with an initial contribution of stock from the Shutterfly IPO in September 2006 and is run by a team of employee volunteers. The Shutterfly Foundation strengthens the connection to our local communities through grant donations and organizational assistance.
