OUR MISSION

To assist in building the educational, cultural, health and economic
development of our community.

How Your Philanthropy Dollars Work Harder in a Foundation

We are building a permanent community resource that will provide endowment funds that will grow and benefit our community forever.

We help donors create an individual or family legacy and offer a simple way to fulfill multiple charitable intents, with lowcost administration, making us a good alternative to private or family
foundations.

We offer personalized service, including donor and family involvement and education in selecting charities and connecting donors with strategic and highimpact funding opportunities.

We accept a wide variety of assets and offer maximum tax advantage.

All our funds stay in the community, where they benefit local organizations meeting a broad range of local needs.

We can preserve donor intent even when community issues and organizations change.

All assets are subject to audit and annual confirmation by an external accounting firm.
