Community Impact
We’ve awarded more than $6,000 in grants to projects in the community since the foundation’s launch in 2019. We use three pillars as our guiding principles in granting dollars to our community and honoring donor intent:
- Causes that benefit the economic development and standard of living in the communities we serve.
- Causes that impact the health and wellness of our community members.
- Causes that address our greatest community needs and impact the underserved.
