The Foundation is pleased to present the 2024 Spirit of Giving. This year, we are celebrating 30 Years of Empowering Dreams with our scholarship program.

A scholarship is an investment in our community’s future. The Community Foundation provides expertise in administering the application process and awards scholarships to deserving students.

The Gift of Education

In 30 years, 5,399 scholarships have been presented to 2,550 students. These scholarships represent the donors who established them as a memorial to someone special, to support a field they’re passionate about, or to give together with a group. Each donor establishes the eligibility criteria to exemplify their educational goals and values. Because of the generous donors in our community, more than $6.6 million has been awarded in scholarships since 1995.

Give to any of the Foundation's funds in honor or in memory of a loved one this holiday season. Select any fund and check "Donation in Memory or Honor" at checkout. The Foundation will then notify the person of your choosing.
