Community Foundations
Around the Globe
Community Foundations have existed in America since 1914 when the Cleveland Foundation was established. The concept of providing donated resources to a permanent community improvement fund has been widely accepted and adapted by citizens across the world. The Community Foundation Atlas is compiled of baseline information about the world's community foundations. Below are a few "quick facts" that provide an overview of the diversity and impact of the community foundation movement.

Agency Emergency Grant
Awarded to Gunn Memorial Library
The Community Foundation awarded a $3,500 Agency Emergency Grant to the Gunn Memorial Library in Caswell County in December. The grant funds will be used to move large shelving, circulation desk, computer desks and other large furnishings from the main library to long term storage during library renovations.
Agency Emergency Grants are awarded to local agencies when unexpected events occur that are outside the organizations budget. In the library's case, the unexpected event was needed to relocate during the library renovations due to the discovery of asbestos. Originally, the plan was to stay in the main library while building the expansion, then move into the new part of the building. Due to the findings, it was necessary for the library to relocate during the renovation process.
