Community foundations were begun to give donors of all means the advantages and satisfactions of philanthropy.

Give How and Where You Want

Giving to the Foundation can be as simple as an outright gift to an existing fund of the Foundation or as detailed as the establishment of a new fund. You direct the way your gift is used. You may support a specific organization, area of interest, or scholarship fund, or leave the decision to the Foundation with a gift towards the Unrestricted Fund.

You can make a gift on-line with your credit card. Start by clicking on the JustGive button.

Who Do We Serve?

Individual people, families and businesses can use the foundation to manage and direct their charitable giving. Churches, non-profit agencies and other organizations can use the foundation for responsible, long-term management of their endowment funds.

"You don’t have to be a millionaire to accomplish good things. What I give is combined with the money others give. This way, it can make a larger impact and bring about positive changes in our community.”

Milosh Mamula, Director

Permanent and Perpetual

Since funds are endowed and never spent, they continue to pay dividends perpetually! The profit earned from each fund is paid to specified organizations on a yearly basis.

“The Foundation is a gift to the community because it helps people give. I feel that part of becoming a ‘whole’ person is developing an appropriate relationship with your possessions. Part of that is being able to use them in service of a greater purpose. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to give away money in a responsible manner.”

Rev. Barry Cressman, Founding Director
