2016 Community Foundation Grant Recipients
Community Foundation grants are made through our various funds. Grants are often competitive, although some are made on donor initiative. Each grant is a story of
resources meeting needs, of people doing good things in our communities, either by giving or doing. We applaud our donors and those organizations getting the good work done.
