Community foundations provide a powerful yet personal approach to philanthropy for many individuals and organizations, by offering a range of philanthropic vehicles for multiple giving priorities. While community foundations are viewed by donors as a simple medium for philanthropy, managing a community foundation is anything but easy.

In order to make the greatest social impact, you need to develop many connections and maintain an extensive knowledge of the community’s needs. You need to effectively serve your donors and be responsible stewards of their donated assets and enable and support their philanthropic goals. You need to attract, retain and grow the assets available to support the community, and to channel those resources effectively into the community to help now, and in the future.
