What is a Community Foundation?

"Bringing positive change to the lives of more than 2,500 youth who might have chosen a path to pain and trouble, that's an amazing accomplishment. The Community Foundation helped us build our dream and made the youth of this community greater."

Richard Bennett, A Better Tomorrow

Community foundations are unique. They make it possible for each and every citizen or resident to affect the greater good of a city or region. The foundation gives individuals and businesses the chance to come together, combining their giving, creating a large and powerful pool of assets that work to improve all aspects of the community. The result is a stronger, greater place to live and work.
