Community Funds, Affiliates and Giving Circles

Community Funds, Affiliate Foundations, and Giving Circles at The ICF are philanthropic initiatives created by local residents to support and enhance their communities. These funds allow groups to pool resources and collectively fundraise for a variety of community projects, such as building playgrounds, preserving historical buildings, beautifying landscapes, and addressing urgent local needs. By working together, residents can make a significant impact on their community’s development and well-being.

Benefits:

  • Collective Impact: Pooling resources amplifies the ability to fund larger projects and address broader community needs.
  • Community Engagement: Encourages active participation and collaboration among local residents, fostering a sense of belonging and pride.
  • Flexible Support: Grants from these funds can be directed to a wide range of projects and needs, allowing communities to respond quickly and effectively to emerging challenges and opportunities.
