Passion with a Purpose

Stories are meant to be shared!

Take a look inside!

This publication is full of incredible stories of passion and deep-rooted caring for our community, all of which led to incredible generosity. Passion with a purpose. It is filled with stories of unique giving, all inspired by someone’s passion; by something about which they truly care. You’ll read about a turkey farmer who wanted to make sure that kids had a chance to have a successful education and career; a donor who wanted to make sure that a beloved piece of land remained untouched for the enjoyment of future generations; and a veteran who wants to make sure the American flag always greets people in one of our communities.

It is stories like these that make the Community Foundation what it is today: a place where people’s passion and insight of possibilities lead to a better community for all of us. Every donor to the Community Foundation, no matter the size or nature of the gift, shows a passion for our community; and we thank you!

We hope you will read the Passion with a Purpose - A Community Foundation Storybook, and be inspired. We hope you will read these stories and see a flicker of yourself somewhere. We hope you will read these stories, and then consider your own passion, and how you might give it a lasting purpose. And then, we hope you will pass the storybook along to someone else, for stories are meant to be shared.
