More than a bridge.

We are more than just a bridge between donors and charities—we are a driving force for meaningful change in our community. As a community foundation, we don’t just facilitate giving; we actively engage in shaping social change, participating in key discussions, and addressing pressing needs. Our involvement in initiatives like Planet Youth, the Community Action Network, and the Community Safety and Wellbeing Integration Table allows us to gain deep insights into the challenges our community faces and direct philanthropic efforts toward lasting impact. Our role goes beyond administration—we are here to help strengthen local organizations, empower charitable giving, and ensure that philanthropy remains a powerful tool for community transformation.
