At the Thomas County Community Foundation, we strive to improve the quality of life for all of our friends and neighbors.  We are a catalyst for community betterment--working hard, in partnership with our donors, to make their philanthropic dreams real, while making life easier for other area charitable organizations at the same time.  Thanks to our generous donors, we've been able to give so much back to our community.  We believe in the future of Thomas County.  We believe in the future of our children.  We believe in making a difference. 

The Thomas County Community Foundation is a public, nonprofit organization that pools the resources of many donors and focuses grant-making efforts in Thomas County.  It seeks to build permanently endowed funds, using the interest generated for charitable, community betterment.  The Thomas County Community Foundation accepts and administers a diverse array of gifts and fund types to meet the varied philanthropic objectives of its donors.  We provide flexibility, offering many types of funds, with varying degrees of donor involvement, including donor anonymity, if desired.

Why give to a Community Foundation?

There are as many reasons to give to a community foundation as there are potential donors.  And there are ultimately no right or wrong reasons, since each donation makes a positive impact on our community, regardless of the rationale behind it.

Have you, your children, your parents, or your friends, ever been involved with a local organization?  Were you a 4-H member while you were in school?  Do you participate in Big Brothers Big Sisters?  Do you believe in the missions of the Red Cross or the Genesis Food Bank so much that you donated your food or your time to them?  Do you want a loved one's memory to continue through grants distributed from a fund in their name?  Priorities like these can be important reasons to establish a fund at the Thomas County Community Foundation.  Why?  Because what you and your family value are at the heart of why you donate time and money to causes that you believe in.  Many local non-profits depend upon outside donations to maintain operations--and the establishment of donor-advised and/or donor-designated endowed funds ia a way to to play a perpetual part in things that matter to you.

Why not become a donor today.  Join us in our quest to enrich the lives of our loved ones--and to help keep life in Thomas County great.
