We are your community foundation since 1975.

  • We are a local organization with deep roots in the community.
  • Our funds help people invest in causes they care most.
  • We offer maximum tax advantage for gifts.
  • We multiply the impact of gift dollars by pooling them with other gifts and grants.
  • We build endowment funds benefiting the community forever and help create personal legacies.

Through the support of community members throughout the years, the Foundation has been able to award more than $4 million in grant money.

Total grants in 2012 – $214,000

Social Services – 39%

Education – 31%

Arts – 15%

Health – 11%

  • Donors make a permanent gift to the foundation, which is tax-deductible.
  • These gifts are invested, and the income earned is used to fund grants for community needs.
