Penrose House Nonprofit Conference and Education Center
"El Pomar Foundation's Penrose House 1910-2010: Celebrating 100 years of serving the community"
Penrose House, the former home of El Pomar founders Spencer and Julie Penrose, now serves as an education and conference center available exclusively for the nonprofit community to gather, discuss issues, and discover innovative solutions to challenges facing their organizations and constituents. El Pomar Foundation utilizes this neutral meeting place to promote cooperation across organizational and/or philosophical boundaries.
Penrose House is made available at no cost, except for meals, to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and government agencies. Approximately 32,000 people representing nearly 1,000 local, state, national, and international organizations meet at Penrose 
House annually.
Sponsoring organizations reflect all areas of the nonprofit sector including health and human service agencies, education organizations, the arts, amateur sports groups, and civic and community service agencies.
Built in 1910, Penrose House was purchased six years later by the Penroses. The Mediterranean style home was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. While still embracing the history, charm and craftsmanship of its era, Penrose House today also includes all the amenities of a modern conference facility. This environment provides an intimate, comfortable, productive setting in which organizations and the individuals who lead them may reflect on the past and prepare for the future.
