Delivering Direct Service
We exist because of the hard work and impact nonprofit organizations are achieving in our communities. We want to be an active partner that provides knowledge, resources and connections that support the needs of local organizations.
Grant Opportunities
We make grants to organizations that are deemed not-for-profit by the IRS, such as 501(c)3s, religious organizations, schools and government entities. If you’re not registered with the IRS, you may apply through a fiscal sponsor.
Create an Agency Fund
Whether your organization needs a steady stream of permanent funding or wants to set aside a reserve for a future project or need, an agency fund at the Community Foundation can help your nonprofit accomplish its goals.
Agency Funds
Agency Funds are established by nonprofits to provide an additional source of income to them. The Foundation handles all administrative and investment responsibilities for the agency funds, allowing the organizations to pursue their charitable missions.
