Community Foundations occupy a distinctive place among philanthropic organizations. Like other Foundations, they make grants to nonprofit organizations to support charitable work. Unlike other Foundations, Community Foundations are specially designed to partner with investors to make it easier for them to be philanthropists in their own right by advancing the long-term well being of the community. 1.
