A New Chapter Together: Welcome from Our New President & CEO

As I begin my role as President & CEO of the Chester County Community Foundation, I want to thank you for the warm welcome I have received from our staff, Board, fund advisors, nonprofit partners, and the many professional advisors who help make our mission possible.

Community foundations are built on relationships, and few are more important than those we share with attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, trust officers, and estate planning professionals. Every day, you help individuals and families align their values with their vision for the future. Every charitable conversation you have with a client has the potential to create lasting impact for your clients for generations.

I believe philanthropy is most meaningful when it connects people to the causes they care about while responding to the evolving needs of our community. As your Community Foundation, we are here as your local philanthropic partner to offer community knowledge, charitable giving solutions, and personalized support that helps you to confidently guide your clients in achieving their charitable goals.

In the months ahead, I look forward to meeting many of you, learning more about your work, and exploring how we can continue to strengthen relationships and offer support for you as you work with your clients. Whether you’re helping a client establish a donor-advised fund, support the organizations they care about, or include charitable giving through estate planning, our team is here to make the process seamless and rewarding.

Thank you for the important role you play in advancing charitable giving and strengthening our community. I look forward to working alongside you.

Yours in Philanthropy,

Chester County Community Foundation
