Imagine the power of philanthropy
Since 1959, your community foundation has transformed private giving into public good -- seeding parks, enriching education, expanding arts and more.  For our 50th anniversary, visionary leaders are creating Community Catalyst Funds as new agents for transformational change.

Community Catalyst Funds provide another tool for donors who want to make sure that their gifts are targeted on high-impact initiatives and projects that have the power to transform this community.

We will continue to meet the community's most pressing needs and take advantages of opportunities through our Community Fund grantmaking.  But you have told us you want us to do more, to be proactive with high-impact, catalytic initiatives. Community Catalyst Funds will provide the resources we need today and for generations to come.

Shared vision + pooled gifts = transformational change.
Imagine with us and join us as we discover the power of what we can do together.  We've set up an Imagine blog to make it easier for you to hear what others imagine and share your own vision for a brighter future.

 Make an on-line gift to Community Catalyst Funds  today, using the Donate Now button below, or contact Erin Stephenson at 205-327-3805 to find out more about minimums to establish a named grantmaking fund.
