Our Mission...
The Chester County
Community Foundation connects people who care with the causes that
matter, so their legacies can make a difference forever. We encourage
people from all walks of life to create or contribute to lasting
charitable funds.
what is a community
foundation...
The
Community Foundation provides a means to build a substantial amount of
money over time from the contributions of people of significant wealth
and modest means, and to use the income from these funds, in the form of
grants, to meet the community’s charitable needs now and into the
future. The Community Foundation has three unique features:
Local expertise;
Personalized service;
Community convener
About us...

Since 1994, the Community Foundation has actively
partnered with donors who believe that positive change occurs through
effective charitable giving. Today, we manage more than 275 charitable
funds started by individuals, families, businesses and nonprofit
organizations. Together, these funds represent ordinary people who have
made extraordinary commitments to our community. The Community
Foundation is a resource for now and for the future. We invite you to
learn more about us and join us in our work.
legacy awards...

Community Foundation established the Let Your Legacy Make A
Difference Awards to highlight philanthropic good works and to

Ben franklin legacy society...

The Ben Franklin Legacy Society
recognizes all those who have notified the Chester County Community
Foundation that they have included any fund of the Community Foundation
in their will or other deferred giving plan.
The Society derives its name from the
Benjamin Franklin Trust which Ben himself set up in the 1790's, to be
distributed 200 years after his death. Two centuries later in
1996, Chester County Community Foundation's first planned gift was a
portion of this original trust.
