DPC Community Foundation

What is a Community Foundation?

A community foundation is a collection of separate funds established by individuals and corporations - a community of donors - to enhance the quality of life in a local area. These funds are pooled and invested under the direction of a board of directors made up of community leaders and the income is distributed in the form of grants. The first community foundation began in 1914 in Cleveland. There are now over 520 community foundations nationwide, controlling aggregate assets worth over $25 billion. Community foundations are the fastest growing form of philanthropy in America today and often are in the vanguard of charitable giving.
