“In the past two years, our Foundation has significantly increased our grantmaking to the nonprofit sector via the Community Impact Fund,” said Daniel Foster, President/CEO of The Community Foundation.
“Obviously, the economic downturn has hurt many worthy nonprofit causes and our Board and donors feel it is essential to step up now and meet the increasing needs and challenges of our region,” Foster continued.
