Why Choose Us?

We Know The Communities We Serve

When you choose to invest in the future of our communities, you want to work with someone who knows the territory. The broad cross-section of leaders who guide our work lends valuable insight that will help your charitable giving achieve maximum results.

We Help You Achieve Superior Tax Benefits

Since the IRS considers us a public charity, contributions are eligible for the highest available tax deductions. In most cases, these tax benefits outweigh using your assets to establish your own private foundation.

We Make Set-Up and Administration Easy

Establishing a fund can be done in less time than it takes to open a bank account. We take care of all the administrative and grant making activities, eliminating the need for you to set up a separate institution, formulate policies, file innumerable forms and monitor the status of grant recipients.

We Share Your Interests

We are here to help you become connected to the issues you care about most. Your charitable interest and priorities are important to us because committed, caring citizens are so important to our communities' well-being.
