Start Giving

The Community Foundation, in many ways, is a conduit. From recognizing others to giving to your favorite cause, we serve as an avenue to put your passion into action and have a variety of giving opportunities from which to choose.

Our Mission

As a hub for local philanthropy, we have dedicated the last four decades to strengthening the health and well-being of the communities we serve.

In 2025, we are celebrating 40 years of impact. Explore the Community Foundation's work and community investment over the years in our anniversary video.
