The Leadership Fund helps the Community Foundation take action on big ideas that make our region stronger. This flexible fund supports our major community projects, special grant opportunities, and the resources we need to carry them out.
Your support makes it possible for us to take on projects like Rotary Park and Fish Ladder Music Park, and to respond quickly when new opportunities arise.
