A community of donors doing more TOGETHER
Founded in 1959 by the community, for the community, we are celebrating our 50th anniversary with new opportunities to transform this place we call home. We know the needs of our community and the most effective programs and organizations that serve those needs.  We provide the latest options for flexible and tax-effective giving. And we connect charitable individuals, families and businesses with new ways to use their resources to build a brighter future for everyone. Imagine what we can do together!
