Community Initiatives

When we play a key role

The Community Foundation regularly works with community leaders and nonprofits of all types: as a colleague, grantmaker, convenor, and more.

Frequently, the result is an extended initiative in which we take a lead or supportive role. Many of our donors choose to join us in these strategic efforts. This section highlights four of them.

• Community Partnership Fund - our primary opportunity for donor partnerships
• Healthy Eating, Active Living - a project to help all local residents have access to nutritious foods and to encourage an active lifestyle
• Strong Neighborhoods - 20 years of helping community-led organizations transform their own communities
• GiVE 365 – an innovative $1 a day philanthropy program that encourages new philanthropists and teaches individuals how to evaluate nonprofits before investing
