We manage a growing collection of more than 2,000 funds created by generous individuals, families and businesses, and award more than $40 million in grants and scholarships every year.
We work with generous and visionary citizens to maximize the power of their giving, support great work happening in our communities and lead and collaborate on high-impact initiatives.
