George & Donna Burdick Business Award
George Burdick, a co-founder of the Mission City Community Fund (MCCF), was a dedicated leader whose passion for community service helped shape Silicon Valley. Alongside his wife, Donna, George built Burdick Painting into one of the region’s most respected commercial painting companies. Their commitment to giving back extended far beyond business—they actively supported MCCF, service clubs, and volunteer organizations, leaving a lasting impact on the community.
George’s “get it done now, the right way” attitude and Donna’s behind-the-scenes dedication and enthusiasm were driving forces behind many meaningful projects. Their generosity and vision remain a cornerstone of MCCF’s success.
To honor their legacy, MCCF presents the George Burdick Award each year to a local business that exemplifies outstanding community service, philanthropy, and contributions to a better quality of life in Santa Clara and the Silicon Valley region.
