And we not only promote Smart Giving. . .we practice it. Though our signature Giving Tree Grants program the Community Foundation deploys its own foundation-directed dollars to meet community needs. By making grants and sharing knowledge, we support programs that work, and we partner to create new initiatives that address the gaps.
Why Choose the Community Foundation?
