The Community Foundation accepts and administers gifts from many sources to help meet the needs of the community. Charitable disbursements are directed by a Board of Directors with assistance from grant committees and Foundation staff.

Grant Making Philosophy

 The basic building blocks of local capacity are represented in communities. Acting by choice, individuals and groups of individuals form communities of consenting relationships. A focus on the capacities of people who also have needs will result in the development of powerful communities.

Proposals which identify a problem, decide how to solve that problem, and then solve the problem, with the assets of the community, are strongly encouraged.

The Community Foundation believes that individuals are the assets of this community. The Foundation's grantmaking program is directed at investing in these assets.

"Grant funds are no longer available for 2005. Please watch for announcement of new cycles in 2006."
