Ways to Give
Your generosity makes our work possible. When you give to your Community Foundation, you invest in the future of our region.
"Giving back” has a different meaning for each of us. No matter how you give back, the Community Foundation can help meet your needs and preferences with a variety of opportunities for giving at all levels.
- Establish a Fund: Establishing a fund today allows you to see how it works, the grants it makes, and grow its impact. Whether you wish to support one organization’s mission or have many causes close to your heart, we can help build a fund that serves your charitable goals.
- Plan a Gift: A planned gift is a way to ensure permanent support for the causes or organizations that matter to you. Donors can rest assured that their gift’s original intent will be honored in perpetuity, leaving a legacy of caring for community.
- Grow a Fund: Anyone can give any amount at any time to any fund at the Community Foundation. By combining your resources with those of others who share your interests, you can maximize the impact of modest contributions.
- Honor Friends & Family: Honor a friend, memorialize a loved one, or celebrate a special occasion by giving a gift of any size to any fund. We’ll notify the honoree or family of your thoughtfulness and the organization whose fund has benefitted from your gift.
- Support Our Work: We are grateful for gifts specifically designated to support our work and enhance our impact as a nonprofit organization.
