Community foundations are very special nonprofit organizations.
They do not have a specific charitable purpose. Rather, they are designed to provide local donors the opportunity to engage in philanthropy in a variety of ways. They provide the mechanism for establishing endowment funds. They provide the way to achieve excellent investment yields through pooling of funds. And they provide benefits to the many communities that they serve.
