GROWING RESILIENCE

The power of local philanthropy, of donating to local communities through a community foundation, is not just in the capacity to help now, but in the potential to be helping for generations to come.  Your gift here and now becomes part of a lasting legacy in the form of a fund that will be there to meet the needs of your community in perpetuity, helping the community you love to become more resilient and self-sustaining.
