Ways to Give
How Do You Want To Make A Difference?
We aim to inspire generosity. We believe the act of giving, in any amount, strengthens communities by offering connection, fostering unity, and spreading kindness with every gift.
As a community foundation, we are well-positioned to work collaboratively with individuals and organizations alike to do more together than we could do alone. We listen and honor donor wishes for purposeful giving, and we intentionally grant dollars to support community needs and the organizations making a local impact.
We would love to speak with you one on one to discuss your philanthropy goals – both for now and into the future.
