www.FredParent.NET • 11 The Community Foundation The Community Foundation connects donors with nonprofi t organizations that serve the current and future needs of the people throughout our region. They provide broad community leadership by bringing diverse groups of individuals and organizations together to develop community- wide solutions for problems and issues. The Community Foundation receives gifts from individuals, corporations and organizations. These gifts are named and placed in endowment funds and invested to generate earnings. The Community Foundation coordinates with fund advisors to use these earnings to distribute grants to a variety of nonprofi t programs, organizations and community-oriented charitable efforts that benefi t area residents and organizations, as well as to distribute scholarships to local students. On May 3, the foundation will sponsor the third annual Community Give, a 24-hour online event when thousands of people will donate hundreds of thousands of dollars—the most raised in a single day—to support the issues and charities they are passionate about. The goal for this year's event is to raise one million dollars in the 24 hour period. Use this day to show your children the power of giving. Give to a local cause YOU care about!!
