Reasons to Give

WE ARE LOCAL.

The Community Foundation is a local organization with more than 25 years of community knowledge. We have a unique understanding of our community's needs and the many ways you can make an impact on those needs that are important to you. 

WE DEVELOP A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU.  

Each individual, family, and organization we work with has unique charitable interests and unique financial circumstances. We work with you to help you make the most of both, so you can see the greatest benefit from your community investment and we can ensure that your passion is matched with purpose, forever.

WE OFFER OPTIONS.

Gifts of all sizes make a meaningful difference in our structure. You can give now, or give later, with a gift from your estate. You can choose from one of more than 300 existing funds in support of a cause close to your heart. Or you can establish a fund that supports an organization, field of interest, or cause that is important to you.

WE ARE HERE FOREVER.

Gifts you give to the Community Foundation become part of a permanent endowment, which means they will benefit our community forever. We invest your gifts with the goal of ensuring funds are available to address community needs now and forever.
