Three Things That Make Us Different:
Knowledge of the Community
Because the Foundation is focused on the totality of our community’s needs, we can weave together broad-scale solutions from all our funds and test new approaches. The reason we can attack an issue from so many angles is because of the variety of funds we hold that are all rounded out by unrestricted dollars.
