Description
Community Giving Foundation helps donors establish personal, named charitable funds that provide community resources today and for future generations. Serving Pennsylvania’s Central Susquehanna region, the Foundation offers options for supporting particular nonprofits, interests such as food insecurity, education, and the arts, or community needs that emerge over time. Fund choices depend on donors’ charitable goals and desired involvement in grantmaking.
Community Endowment Funds place grantmaking decisions with the Foundation, using staff expertise, local board members, and a data-driven approach. Giving Services Funds offer more customized arrangements, including ongoing support for designated nonprofits, donor-recommended grants, scholarships, and short-term charitable projects. The Foundation manages administrative responsibilities and works with donors who have either a detailed plan or an initial interest in giving.
