Getting Started...
 As a prospective donor, you may have a predetermined philanthropic plan that may include supporting a beloved church, establishing scholarships for students, or simply establishing a charitable fund that you or your designees will advise over time.
Your plan for giving, however, may be less specific. Perhaps you have a specific field of interest that you wish to support—the arts or education—but no predetermined ideas about giving. Finally, you may wish to provide funds to meet the broadest possible range of community needs.
Whatever your charitable interests may be, our staff works to marry your desires with the needs of the organization, cause or community of your choosing. No gift is too small. Donations to the Community Foundation are tax deductible to the maximum amount allowed by IRS regulations.
