Connecting People with Charitable Initiatives
Donors give to causes they feel passionate about, that has meaning for them and benefits something they value. Since 1983 the Community Foundation has connected people with charitable initiatives that matter. We offer several ways to give whether the goal is to support a favorite nonprofit, honor a loved one or create a personal legacy.
Give what you can afford to give, to something that is meaningful to you, and will benefit those you want to help. The size of the gift does not matter because every gift makes a difference.
“The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” Pablo Picasso
