Community Connections
With well over 10,000 nonprofits in our region, it is often difficult to find the best and the brightest. To help our donors navigate the local nonprofit landscape, the community foundation has designed the Community Connections program.
Throughout the year, the Community Connections program provides a way for our donors to learn about and fund the most promising charitable investment opportunities in our community from organizations that are fully vetted and endorsed by our expert grantmaking staff.
