Our mission is to grow, connect, and protect charitable gifts in support of strong communities.
Our mission, to grow, protect and connect charitable gifts in support of strong communities, is purposefully broad. We work in four basic areas: 1) making grants to strengthen and support local nonprofit organizations; 2) advancing philanthropy at all levels of giving; 3) raising awareness of local charitable needs and giving opportunities; 4) managing the investments of our community’s charitable endowment. All decisions are based on local needs and interests and are directed by a 21-member board of trustees.
