About Us |

Founded in 2004, The Community Foundation for Carver County is a public charity created by and for the people who live and work in Carver County. The Foundation complements existing nonprofits by connecting emerging community needs and interests with resources. It enables people with philanthropic interests to easily and effectively support the issues they care about. All assets gifted to the Foundation have the opportunity to remain in the region. Beyond the gifting of assets, the Foundation helps donors identify issues of importance to them and inspires engagement with organizations addressing those issues. The Foundation builds on the work and progress of others, empowering individuals, families and businesses to have a direct and lasting impact on Carver County for generations to come. Our Mission: Our Goals:
What is a Community Foundation? Donors can give to an existing fund or establish a charitable fund by contributing a variety of assets to the Foundation. A community foundation looks to the well-being of the total community, not just one part of it. How is a Community Foundation different from other
public charities? A community foundation, while also a public charity, is primarily a grantmaker and not a direct service provider. Rather than focus on servicing a particular community need, a community foundation serves donors and the broad needs of a community. |
