We Can Help Your Company Engage with Your Community
At the Community Foundation, we can help your organization make a positive impact on your community through charitable giving. We can provide expert philanthropic guidance to your business and can help you create and manage a corporate giving program that meets your needs.
Whether your business is just beginning to consider how to give or you’re already operating a corporate foundation, the Community Foundation can help you further your philanthropic mission. Our community knowledge and charitable giving expertise can help you meet your corporate giving goals, promote your company’s philanthropic passions, and make a positive impact on your community.
Why Corporate Philanthropy?
There are many reasons corporate philanthropy and giving back are beneficial for your organization and the community. From employee engagement and recruitment, to increased brand awareness, to increased community networks, corporate philanthropy offers many benefits to you and your community.
“Philanthropy means supporting our community. We’ve always felt it is the right thing to do. Our funds through the Community Foundation make it much easier for us to manage.”

Why Partner with the Community Foundation?
We can help your organization make your corporate philanthropy easy and efficient. We can help you structure your giving plan and manage the multiple requests you receive for contributions. We offer community knowledge of needs and opportunities, timely gift acknowledgements and grant processing, online access to manage your fund, and tax benefits for giving through us.
The Local Advantage
We can meet with your team to facilitate discussions and design a program that fits your philanthropic philosophy, values and goals. Through our resources, availability, and local expertise, we can help you establish a legacy of corporate giving.
Corporate Giving Options
There are two primary service options offered by the Community Foundation for corporate philanthropy:
Corporate Donor-Advised Fund
Allows you and your employees to remain actively involved in making grant recommendations to causes you care about whenever it is convenient. Grants can be made to local, national and international organizations.
Corporate Donor-Advised Fund with Competitive Grantmaking Program
This is a more robust charitable giving option that allows you to fund local programs or projects through a grant application process. We offer a dedicated Community Foundation team to provide professional guidance and administrative oversight that includes a wide range of services from reviewing grant requests to sending award letters to overseeing grantee accountability.
