About Us

The Community Foundation provides donors with an easy and convenient way to give back to our community with joy and impact. We make grants to nonprofit organizations in support their efforts to strengthen our community. From time to time, we initiate programs when it appears that leadership is required to focus attention on important community issues. We also partner with local corporations, foundations and governmental entities to address specific needs in a spirit of collaboration and efficiency.

A community foundation is a classic expression of community life and values. As a collection of funds set up by philanthropic individuals, it is a place where the contributions of each individual donor are celebrated, yet it recognizes that we can accomplish more together than as individuals. Since our beginning in 1982, the community foundation has grown not only in size of assets, but also in terms of strength and experience. This growth is due to a number of factors including the commitment of our donors, the depth of our relationships with nonprofit organizations, and the steady oversight of capable and visionary community leaders from every corner of the region.

If you have come to our website as a potential donor, note the wide choice of tools and services we offer to help you meet your charitable objectives and maximize your impact. Contact us with your questions and let us show you how partnering with the Community Foundation is simple, effective and rewarding.

If you are here looking for support from the Community Foundation, then we hope your work with us will result in a mutually beneficial partnership that helps your organization address the needs of those you serve.

Thank you and please let us know how we can help.

Sincerely,

Alice F. Fitzpatrick, President
