Corporate Giving 

We offer custom services to help your company plan, govern and operate your community philanthropy.

Giving Back is Good for Business

Your business has a vested interest in the health and vitality of our region. Partnering with The Community Foundation is a convenient way to maximize impact for the people and communities you serve and generate a return on community investment. With deep grantmaking expertise and community knowledge, we can help you develop corporate giving programs, manage charitable funds, engage employees, or collaborate within our community.

​

We provide a simple and yet powerful approach to giving with a variety of tools tailored to meet your company’s needs. Together, the Community Foundation and area businesses create full-circle partnerships that give back to our local communities and improve the region we call home.

​

How It Works:

  • You create a fund by making a tax-deductible gift to CFES.

  • You choose the name of your fund.

  • We work with you to design a grantmaking strategy and provide philanthropic support services.

  • You recommend grants to your favorite nonprofit organizations.

  • We issue the grant checks, send acknowledgements, and maintain the records so you don’t have to.
