Six ways that community foundations improve the quality of life

Posted

The Wayne County Community Foundation has evolved rapidly in the last few decades—and especially in the past several years.

Here are six ways that community foundations improve the quality of life.

    1. Building a strong donor network and growing the funding base.

Community foundations build a strong network of supporters and donors, with smart investing in socially reponsible portfolios.

    1. Funding with highest social impact

Community foundations raise awareness and support for local causes by working toward the root causes of community challenges, not just Band-Aid solutions.

    1. Engaging with systemic problems

Prioritizing connecting and access to broadband and other technology, and filling in the gaps in government funding.

    1. Revitalizing communities

Community foundations fund signature projects in education, arts and environmental causes.

    1. Investing in economic development

Community foundations support local businesses and nonprofits with direct funding and support.

    1. Connecting groups of donors and philanthrophists to nonprofit organizations to fund large-scale projects.

Community foundations have the unique opportunity to accomplish this.
