Gifts to the Community Foundation make a difference and connect you with your community. You can start a fund to address your specific goals or donate to an existing fund that aligns with your goals. Earnings from funds are used to make grants addressing community needs. Your gift – and all future earnings from your gift – is a permanent source of community capital, helping do good work forever. Or you can make a tribute gift in honor or memory of a special person, or an event in your life. You can make a gift to directly support the Community Foundation and our efforts to improve our community. There are so many ways to give back, and gifts of any size are appreciated at all times.
