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."
