Community Foundations are unique in the world of nonprofits because of the flexibility our organizational charters allow in addressing and responding to the needs and opportunities of the communities we serve. From the arts to education, economic development, social services, and beyond, our areas of support can be both broad and deep, depending upon the focus of the many funds we manage for the benefit of Monroe County.
The Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County achieves impact through distinct areas of activity:
- Leadership Initiatives
- Grants
- Educational Scholarships
- Supporting Local Agencies
- Supporting Donor Advisors
Each area of impact relies on its own sources of funding, but all benefit in some measure from the power of flexible funds, which allow us to respond to our community, year after year, in the most relevant and beneficial ways.
The Community Foundation is powered by the vision of people and organizations who share their charitable gifts to empower the Foundation to truly make a difference in Monroe County. We convene common voices around issues, take risks, and foster the rewards of innovative achievements that improve the quality of life in our community. Our impact is lasting and is made possible through inspired partnerships to meet our community’s most pressing needs and seize its most compelling opportunities.
