The Community Foundation makes grants in the areas of: education; health and human services; youth, family and aging; community development; arts and culture; and the environment. Grants are made for programs likely to make a clear difference in the quality of life for a substantial number of people.
The Community Foundation tends to favor projects that:
- propose innovative, creative and practical solutions to both current and emerging community needs
- promote cooperation among agencies without duplicating services
- stimulate others to participate in problem solving
- strengthen an agency’s effectiveness or stability
- address themselves to prevention as well as remediation

- annual fundraising drives
- travel grants
