The Community Foundation Movement

The Community Foundation Movement involves locally-focused, nonprofit organizations that pool donations from individuals, families, and businesses to support regional needs. These foundations manage charitable funds and distribute grants to projects in areas like education, healthcare, arts, and social services. Their goal is to strengthen communities over the long term by fostering philanthropy and addressing local priorities effectively. They serve as a trusted, flexible resource that encourages residents to contribute and collaborate toward a healthier, more vibrant community.
