What is a community foundation?
Community foundations make up one of the fastest growing sectors of philanthropy in the United States today. In Alabama and across the nation, these public charities build and strengthen communities by:
  -- Helping individuals, families and businesses support the causes they care about.
  -- Helping professional advisors find charitable solutions to assist clients in financial and estate planning.
  -- Helping nonprofit organizations through grants and other services.
  -- Helping the community at large through an endowment for community needs and as catalysts and convenors around important issues.
