What is a Community Foundation?

Meet your
Community
Foundation
When was
the last time
you changed
someone’s life?
Some people make
a difference by
volunteering their
time. Others do so
by donating money
directly to charitable
causes.
We all can change lives
in big and small ways
every single day.
But what about
giving in a different
way? What about
helping forever?
We’re ready to help you:

The Capital Region
Community Foundation:
• Builds community endowment to ensure there are
philanthropic resources available for future generations to
meet the community’s most pressing needs and promising
opportunities.
• Provides a simple, powerful and highly personal approach
to charitable giving. We can help you find the best way to
achieve your charitable goals.
For good. For ever.
People like you have been investing in our region through the
Community Foundation since 1987. Our grant dollars have
supported major community initiatives such as the formation
of the Lansing Economic Area Partnership, Ingham County’s
0-5 initiative and the creation of a college access network to
increase higher education attainment in our community.
Give where you live.
We build and energize a community of philanthropists,
working to make mid-Michigan a region people want to call
home. Our board of directors is composed of community
members representing Ingham, Eaton and Clinton counties.
This local knowledge helps us better identify needs and serve
our communities.
