How exactly does the Community Foundation help our region and my community?

For three decades we’ve raised and deployed funds and resources to where they can be used for the greater good of our communities. Our current impact can be seen in our significant annual grantmaking to hundreds of local nonprofits—as well as helping area students access and finish higher education with scholarships and interest-free loans. A key part of our focused vision is growing our role as a catalyst for change in our region.
