The Community Fund supports The Foundation’s annual community grant making. And it gives you an easy way to ensure that your gift meets our community’s most pressing needs. All applications for grants from The Fund are reviewed by the Grants Committee, which submits its recommendations to the Board of Directors for the Board’s review and approval.

Community Fund contributions can be made through The Foundation’s multi-tiered donor program or specified to the donor’s wishes. The multi-tiered donor programs are:

• Founders Club - Donors give $50,000 for four consecutive years
• Trail Blazers - Donors give $25,000 for four consecutive years
• Silver Miner - Donors give $12,500 for four consecutive years
• Main Street - Donors give $5,000 for four consecutive years
• First Tracks - Donors give $2,500 for four consecutive years

Donors who want to give to The Foundation’s Community Fund, but whose gift amount does not fall within one of the above programs, are encouraged to make any donation that suits them. All donations make a difference! Gifts can be made in the form of check, credit card, approved security, or transfer from a foundation.
