How does the Community Foundation work? |
| |
There are three major elements to the Foundation:
Donor services: You can invest your charitable gifts with the money of others, and consequently, increase the amount available to give. You may contribute monthly, annually or for special events and projects. The program staff of the Foundation is made up of professionals who know the intricacies of the non-profit community. They can assist you with finding a special program that perfectly fits your interests.
Grantmaking: The Board of Directors is responsible for developing policy and providing oversight of the grantmaking program. They make final decisions on grants to organizations. They receive input and recommendations from various individuals and advisory committees that participate in specific program areas.
Community Leadership: Our community needs a neutral entity that gives people on all sides of an issue the opportunity to work toward a common goal. The Foundation offers this option. Its only bias is that all initiatives promote the public good.
