Community foundations exist in every state across the U.S. to play a unique role in advancing the greater good. Each community foundation helps create positive change in its region, and serves as a leader, convener, and advocate. Community foundations approach what they do with a collaborative spirit to help their communities thrive. If you’re working within community philanthropy, supporting it, or just curious, there’s something here for you.
