The Community Foundation

The Community Foundation provides a straightforward, powerful, and highly personal approach to giving. Our approach is simple—build a better community by making philanthropy easy. Many people who consider establishing a private foundation or charitable trust discover that The Community Foundation is a more efficient, flexible and personal alternative to establishing a private foundation.

We offer:

Streamlined giving services for donors that make charitable giving easy, effective and enjoyable.
Responsible and attentive management of charitable funds.
Knowledge of our community and the nonprofit sector.
