The Community Foundation inspires philanthropy and serves as a catalyst and connector for community impact.
The General Grants Program aims to fund organizations and initiatives that respond to local community needs identified through assessments and other sources. It focuses on enhancing community well-being, resilience, collaboration, and cultural understanding. The program welcomes proposals in various sectors, including the arts (promoting cultural creation and historical understanding), the environment (concentrating on education, sustainability, climate action, and conservation), health & human services (aiming to improve quality of life through basic needs and social services), and support for seniors and people with disabilities (offering direct services to these groups).
