Who is the Dublin Community Foundation?
A community foundation, by definition, is a public charity whose focus is on supporting a geographical area, primarily by facilitating and pooling donations used to address community needs and support local nonprofits.
Community foundations offer numerous types of grantmaking programs, frequently including donor-advised funds, endowments, scholarships, field-of-interest funds, giving circles, and more. Community foundations are funded by donations from individuals, families, businesses, and sometimes government grants.
We are Dublin’s philanthropic strategist.
We work collaboratively. We identify needs. We maximize opportunities. We listen with our hearts and act as prudent stewards.
We are Dublin’s partner in heart and spirit.
As a community-based, non-profit organization, we bring together people, organizations and businesses to make a difference. We’re your neighbors and co-workers – and like you – we care about Dublin.
