To act as a vehicle for philanthropy for individuals, organizations and corporations by receiving and managing charitable gifts.
To provide leadership in the community by identifying current and emerging areas of need, supporting innovative programs, and sharing information with other organizations.
To lead a meaningful and effective grant process that properly stewards our donors’ gifts
