Our county contains a number of villages and towns, each with a distinct character. Yet, we also share a common wish— to preserve, maintain, or improve our communities and county. County Endowment Funds are one way to make that wish a reality. By embarking on the path to creating a County Endowment Fund, you will be working to:
Develop and refine local-based philanthropy and leadership
Assist your county in retaining local assets to serve its residents
Create, develop, and build a permanent fund connecting people who care with causes that matter in your county
Your Community Foundation will assist you each step of the way, offering its support and up to $15,000 in matching funds to establish your endowment.
If you’re interested in starting your County’s Endowment Fund, we’ll work with you step-by-step to reach your goal. Please contact us to get started.
