Over 95% of the Community Foundations grants are made through the generosity of each of our donor advised funds. While most of our grants are for general operating support, a donor tends to feel ‘connected’ through particular initiatives or programs of the nonprofit. Our donors may choose to fund any of the proposed grant requests from our four grant categories:
