WHY WORK WITH A COMMUNITY FOUNDATION?
Community foundations have in-depth knowledge of their communities and remain alert to emergent needs in order to respond quickly and effectively. CCGF convenes groups including donors, non-profit leaders and elected officials to work together on community problem-solving. By fostering greater giving and local volunteerism, community foundations have been a tradition since 1914 -- helping bring about thoughtful, effective change.
