Our Center for Philanthropy (CfP) gives us flexible meeting spaces for expanding our philanthropic programs and allows our Community Foundation to better fulfill its mission of serving as a philanthropic hub, “connecting people who care with causes that matter.” The CfP provides flexibility to host nonprofit trainings and community education forums. Use of the Center for Philanthropy is currently intended for for organizational trainings, meetings, and strategic planning sessions, rather than social gatherings or private events.
