Invest in the Greater Capital Region - what does that mean?

At The Community Foundation for the Greater Capital Region, we spend a lot of time thinking about investment.  For the Community Foundation, investing in our region takes many forms: engaging in leadership activities that help strengthen communities, making grants to not-for-profit organizations doing innovative work, helping students further their education, and partnering with donors on projects that will advance our quality of life.

We see our donors as community leaders and investors - people seeking maximum impact and return on their generous charitable investments.  We deliver the advice, due diligence, and support by which donors express their aspirations and exercise leadership; we provide the peace of mind and unique financial benefits that only a community foundation can offer.

Thanks to a dedicated Board of Directors, generous donors, vital not-for-profits, trusted partners, and skilled staff, the Foundation is well positioned for the future.  While we continue to navigate through a difficult economic period, we are buoyed by a growing endowment and countless opportunities for investment in our communities.

People of all income levels join with us to help fulfill their philanthropic goals. We are careful stewards of the funds entrusted to us.  Together, we are building the most effective philanthropic organization in the Capital Region.

We hope you'll be motivated to consider how you can invest in the Capital Region - and beyond - now and for the future.
