GIVING
Building a stronger community together.
The Community Foundation is a place for individuals, families, businesses, and organizations to invest in our community. By opening a fund—or joining your friends and neighbors in giving to a community fund—you can get more impact out of every dollar. We make giving simple, convenient, and tax-advantageous, so that you can give more to the causes you care about and create a lasting legacy.

Simple, convenient way to give to multiple causes
– Disperse money to any number of different causes through one place.
– Give to any 501c3 or government entity.
– Avoid administrative hassle and fees of family foundations.
Intentions
honored forever
We know our donors personally and are structured to ensure your intentions are fulfilled long after your heirs/executors are gone. For example, if you direct funds to a particular youth organization that ceases to exist, we’ll find one with a similar mission to take its place.
Maximum impact
on the community
We’re your connector and guide to the needs and nonprofits in our community. We stay on top of the issues, and we’re a key voice in important community conversations. We ensure that your gifts are used for maximum impact in the areas with the most need.
