Happy New Year from the Board, Staff and Volunteers of the Community Foundation!

 

At the new year many of us make resolutions and goals for ourselves for the year ahead. The Community Foundation also has created goals for ourselves and for our community. In 2010 we would like disperse at least $50,000 in charitable grants in our region and build our endowment funds to $2.75 million. To achieve these goals our Board of Directors has created and is implementing our strategic plan. Despite the economic events of last year we still managed to surpass our conservative granting goal of $25,000 dispersing over $53,000 in our community.

 

We know with the support of our communities and the generosity of our donors we can achieve these goals in 2010.
