The Foundation is mindful of the importance of enhancing the programs, extending accessibility, and broadening the scope and reach of cultural and recreational organizations. In addition to traditional recreational, cultural and arts institutions, this Field of Interest also includes community centers and park friends groups. Three Culture and Recreation agencies were awarded multi-year grants. This is the first year in the Foundation s 73 year history that multi-year funding is available.
Community foundations are the fastest-growing area of philanthropy in the United States today.
Donated funds are invested with the Foundation s endowment and the income is distributed back to the community.
