Community foundations place the power of philanthropy with everyday citizens, all of whom share a common interest: improving the quality of life in our community.
More than one hundred years ago, in 1914, the community foundation concept was born in Cleveland, Ohio, giving rise to a new philanthropy, a new way of participating in community and a new vision for the future. Community foundations turn collective giving into big impact. Community foundations give everyone access to the power of endowment. Community foundations are devoted to the people and places you love.
