Why I Support the Community Foundation

“The Community Foundation plays a vital role in supporting and uplifting our local communities. Often individuals are passionate about a cause, but they may not know exactly which charities best address it or how to get the money in the right hands. The benefits of working with the Community Foundation include its infrastructure in both identifying charities that address the causes that people care about, as well as ensuring the money is used efficiently. Giving feels more personal when it’s in your community and you can see and feel the impact.”
