Much of Foundation funding supports existing programs; what are the benefits of contributing through the Foundation rather than giving directly to those programs?
Working with the community, we identify specific areas of need where we can achieve the greatest impact and we develop and deploy strategic, community-based solutions designed to produce measurable results in those specific areas. By leveraging community resources – knowledge, expertise and funding – in a coordinated, proactive manner, we are able to produce a much greater return per dollar invested in improving community health. We provide financial stewardship of donated funds and professional evaluations of organizations’ use of our funds to ensure efficiency and effectiveness.
