Our Impact
Advancing Equity
A Safe & Inclusive Community for All
The Community Foundation has worked tirelessly to deliver hope, safety, respect and security to all in our community. While much has been accomplished in our region since our founding in 1965, there’s still substantial work to be done. In order to realize the same opportunities and outcomes for all populations, we at The Community Foundation remain committed to pursuing new ideas and solutions to build an inclusive and equitable community.
A Shared Destination
In our lives, we travel together towards the same desire to lead healthy, safe and enriching lives. Yet race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, physical abilities and other characteristics create different landscapes and terrains for different populations to navigate.
The Community Foundation is proud to work across diverse areas, together with our visionary donors, community leaders and nonprofits, to meet people where they are today, and advance equal outcomes for all.
