Society of Founders

Our Society of Founders consists of donors who shared the vision of building an endowment to meet the charitable needs of our community.  Inclusion in the Society of Founders is reserved for donors who committed $25,000 or more to the Foundation during its first decade of service.

We sincerely thank these people and companies for their dedication to our community.
