Why I Support the Community Foundation
“I have always felt that the Community Foundation is by far the best way to ensure your donations are going to the right organizations to truly make a difference in our community. Much of Community Foundation’s work is spent on due diligence of our non-profits in the community. Their sharing that knowledge helps our community philanthropists make good decisions on their spending. Together they make an immense impact in our community and to the lives of those who live here.”
