Leadership Projects

Working to address our region's greatest needs

In April 2020 the Community Foundation committed $1 million to start the COVID-19 Nonprofit Support Fund, which was supplemented by generous gifts from the community totaling over $270,000. These funds have been exhausted and we are no longer accepting applications. The COVID-19 Nonprofit Support Fund provided 73 grants to assist nonprofits with staffing and other critical needs related to the Covid crisis. A list of grants can be found here.
