The Community Foundation’s programs are designed to support nonprofit organizations across their lifecycles. This ranges from the birth of new groups developed out of local concerns, to the launch or expansion of new ideas for ways to serve the community, to the professional development of staff and organizational processes. In addition, through our involvement and investments in collective impact efforts, we strive to provide leadership and resources that move our community forward.
