Gift that Gives

Give the gift that is always the right size and color, never needs dusting, and will always be appreciated...the Gift that Gives! Here's how it works:

1. Honor someone special by making a gift to the Gift that Gives Fund online, by mail, by phone, or by stopping in ($25 gift minimum).

2. Your special someone receives a beautiful, custom imprinted greeting card letting them know you made a gift in their honor, and a certificate in the amount of your donation.

3. Your special someone uses their certificate to select from over 200 Community Foundation endowments where to direct your gift in honor of them.

No matter what your special someone values: education, youth, animals, the environment, their faith, people in need...we've got an endowment for that!
