Community Foundations are somewhat 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 work of the Community Foundation is diverse but can be divided into four categories: Leadership Initiatives, Granting, Supporting Local Agencies, and Supporting Donor Advisors.
