Philanthropy Magnified - monthly impact report
| 2024 | February Issue - Celebration, Connections and Community | |
We are currently building our review team for our spring grant cycle, and we need you! Whether you are a returning participant or new to the grant review process, you are guaranteed to gain a deeper understanding of the fabric of our community and the inner workings of the community foundation. We are looking to engage you, a valued member of our community, into our grant review process. On the spectrum of community engagement, our grant review team process goes beyond just involving our community. We collaborate with you; we enable you to participate in the planning and decision-making process as members of a grant review team. We are asking you to partner with us and be a key, active, and present player to build social capital across our community.
We are looking for individuals from all backgrounds, who are all colors, from all nations/municipalities and with differing abilities. Ideally, our review teams will be representative of our community’s demographic characteristics. Will you answer the call? Spots are limited and going quickly.

Big Or Small, Every Gift Matters | |
|
Simplicity, efficiency, and effectiveness have long been cornerstones of working with your Community Foundation to carry out charitable goals. We see how easily donors who’ve established a donor-advised or other type of fund are able to not only fulfill your big-picture charitable goals, but to act quickly to respond to critical needs in our beloved communities..
Indeed, the flexibility of working with us allows you to support the causes you love at a financial level that meets your charitable giving budget. Early in the year, many of our fund holders donate highly-appreciated stock to their donor-advised fund, so that they are prepared to activate their annual giving right away.
Consider that small donations from a large number of people can make a huge difference. This is especially true for building our discretionary grantmaking funds. In so many ways, whether gifts are large or small or somewhere in between, philanthropy creates the margin of excellence that helps communities, families, and individuals thrive.
Reach out to contact us because we are here at your Community Foundation to help you achieve satisfaction and impact with your giving at any level.
