A Community Foundation is a nonprofit organization that pools and manages charitable funds from individuals, families, and businesses to support local causes and community needs. These foundations work to improve the quality of life in a specific geographic area by making grants to nonprofits, schools, and other community organizations. They also help donors achieve their philanthropic goals by providing expertise and flexible giving options.
