Donors make possible the Community Foundation and all its services to the community. The Foundation receives no government funding and relies on its family of donors to help fund foundation core services to the community. The Community Foundation charges an annual 1% fee on each fund to support foundation services for the more than 100 component funds managed by the foundation. Individual donors, many of whom make annual pledges, contribute including all of the foundation’s board members.
