Mott showcases community foundations

IKhala Trust

The Mott Foundation created a multi-part series examining the field’s growth and development. The series reports on what is occurring and how the field is expanding globally. It also highlights the work of grantees in Mott's key funding regions.

Community foundations are non-profit organizations that use local resources to meet local needs. For more than three decades, the Mott Foundation has supported developing and strengthening community foundations as local leaders of positive change. Today, Mott supports the field domestically and abroad. This work is funded through the Foundation’s Civil Society program.

“The community foundation is a leader in civic engagement,” said a supporter of the Community Foundation for Palm Beach & Martin Counties, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2013. 

Berks County Community Foundation, like many throughout the world, plays a key community leadership role in helping improve the area's economy, education, health and other important issues.
