Expanding Community Giving

The Expanding Community Giving initiative offers short- and long-term goals that mirror The Community Foundation’s efforts to engage more donors from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Expanding Community Giving at the Community Foundation seeks to help expand community giving by:

• Honoring local philanthropists of color who are making a difference in the community
• Offering new giving vehicles for people sharing common charitable interests
• Providing consultation to selected nonprofits in promoting philanthropy in communities of color, including strategic planning and fundraising
• Building capacity of nonprofits to engage donors around issues that disproportionately affect vulnerable children and families
• Expanding awareness of the Community Foundation’s depth of services
