where dreams take flight - Community Foundation of Tompkins County

creating charitable resources for the community
The Community Foundation provides local philanthropists the opportunity to establish donor advised
funds. Donors then nominate eligible nonprofits to receive grants and the Community Foundation,
through its staff and board, verify eligibility and make the grant awards. Donor advised funds may be set
up by individuals or groups, by nonprofit or for-profit entities, for the purposes they seek to support.
