Although 2020 has not gone according to anyone’s plans, there have been some amazing stories of compassion, commitment, and community that have emerged from this very difficult season.  At the Community Foundation, we have had a front row seat to witness our community’s overwhelming response. Our donors contributed a total of $728,722 to the Emergency Relief Fund to help our community recover from the COVID crisis. And just a month later, answered the rallying cry for racial equity with donations totaling $378,135 to the Racial Equity Fund.

We love this community. We believe in this community. We support this community. We are looking for partners who believe like we do and who will join us in providing visionary leadership to help our community recover and emerge from these unprecedented times more resilient than ever. 

Please join us for our Summit on Philanthropy virtual celebration as we honor our community's strength throughout this challenging year, and are inspired by the incredible acts of generosity that bring us together to support this community we love in its time of need.
