GIVEdsm

We know you have a heart for giving, but with so many wonderful nonprofits in the area, staying up-to-date on the most pressing needs in our community can be a challenge. We want to make giving simple. That is why we have created GIVEdsm. GIVEdsm is an online resource that allows the opportunity to learn about the needs of our nonprofits and offer support to those that match your interests.

Connections that Count

"If you have the desire to make a difference but aren't sure how to make it happen, the Community Foundation is the perfect resource. They will take the time to understand the impact you want to achieve and set you up for success. Their research, scheduling of site visits and more has provided a personal approach to connecting with the causes we care about."
