Local Dollars Meet Local Needs
|
When you think of the word philanthropist,
do you think of people like Bill and Melinda Gates? They do, indeed, qualify as modern philanthropists, but you don’t have to be wealthy to do good works with your hard-earned money.
Become a philanthropist now by contributing to The Shenandoah Community Foundation - a non-profit public foundation that provides for the administration and investment of gifts and bequests primarily for the benefit of Shenandoah County. Needs served by the Foundation may be broad in scope or they may be targeted to something very specific.
Determining where your charitable assets might have the most direct and lasting impact can often be a frustrating and time-consuming process. One huge advantage offered by the Shenandoah Community Foundation is our ability to pool donated funds for maximum investment leverage, minimal administrative costs and tax savings for the donors.
We keep local dollars working in our own community to meet local needs.
