The Foundation’s Strategic Plan, adopted in January 2024, guides our work to effectively achieve our mission of “enriching our community through philanthropy, collaboration, and leadership.”
Our Strategic Objectives
- Financial Capacity. We will strengthen our financial capacity in order to enable higher levels of strategic granting and community-building work. We will do this through ongoing support of current “friends of the Foundation,” and by garnering support of new partners. Current and future partners include individuals, families, and local businesses.
- Granting Impact. We will increase the impact of our strategic granting in order to enrich the lives of all our community members. We will do this through increased grant fund allocation and the addition of new grant funding. We will continuously review our comprehensive grant program to ensure funds are maximized for greatest impact in our community.
- Non-Profit Hub. We will enhance our position as the “Hub” for non-profit organizations in our community to better serve these organizations and our community. We will do this by expanding our grant opportunities for increasing numbers of organizations, and grow overall grant program engagement. We will increase our promotion of local organizations and their work, and we will maintain an online community resource directory.
- Reflecting Diversity. We will model diversity, equity, and inclusion as an organization and in our work in order to reflect the diversity of our community. We will do this by ensuring all community members are welcomed and heard. We will do this by ensuring that our strategic granting, events, and other programming serve all the members of our growing community.
