How your gift will be used

Personalized giving:  Our experienced and knowledgeable volunteers and staff  share a deep commitment to the well-being of the community. They help find the best charitable organizations to fit each donor’s interests, and help donors and their advisors structure a donor directed fund to satisfy their specific charitable objectives.

Responsible financial management: Gifts to the community foundation become part of a lasting endowment. Capital is expertly and responsibly managed in a balanced portfolio, with available distributions used to fund charitable activities while at the same time ensuring a measure of protection against erosion by inflation. Funds are invested with experienced managers and performance is reviewed regularly. The foundation’s financial position is evaluated annually by an independent audit. These safeguards ensure capital will be preserved and distributions will be maximized over time.

Faithful to donor intent: We provide a flexible vehicle for donors with a variety of philanthropic interests. The foundation keeps in close contact with local community organizations, and its broad perspective and local knowledge assures that grants will always be targeted where they can do the most good.
