Our generous fund donors provide money to help charities in the region and to fund vital projects in the community. They have paid for thousands of initiatives, such as revival plans for downtown, a program to create experimental schools, poetry workshops, services for the abused, underwriting for the Shaw Center for the Arts. 

Our members support the essential functions of their Foundation. They help to pay for the daily operations that turn the gears of our work in the community. They also get invited to special events and inside information on what's happening in the community. They also feel good about themselves.
