From the Executive 
Director’s Desk
Have a question about Centre Foundation or an idea about how to make Centre County a great place to live? We'd love to hear from you! Get in touch at (814) 237-6229 or info@centre-foundation.org .
I’m sure you’re as excited as I am that Spring is finally here, despite the last little burst of winter we just had! 
 
Spring’s a time of great anticipation, and right now in our office that means planning for Centre Gives, our annual 36-hour online giving event, so we can make it an engaging event for you and a successful event for the organizations you support.  
 
But of course being busy planning doesn’t stop us from celebrating the great support you’ve previously provided to the community, so we continue to gather and share those stories.  

Members of the Giving Circle recently gathered at Centre Foundation for a Wine and Cheese event to hear from last year’s grant recipients and to celebrate the impact that their 2017 grants had on those organizations.
 
Let’s get together soon to make an impact through Centre Gives, or Giving Circle, or any of the many ways you may engage with Centre Foundation. 

As always, thank you for being a part of our generous community,

Molly Kunkel
Executive Director
Centre Foundation

Giving Circle Impact Celebration
Last August, Giving Circle members granted $10,000 to Hearts for Homeless and $2,500 each to Bellefonte Art Museum and Discovery Space . In order to learn more about the impact of these grants, representatives from each organization presented to Giving Circle members during the evening of March 14. Guests were treated to drinks and
hors d'oeuvres. A fun time was had by all!

Want to be a part of a $10,000 impact? 2018 Giving Circle Memberships are available on a sliding scale according to age. Monthly payments are also available.
Breaking Records!
We are pleased to announce that a record number of organizations will be participating in Centre Gives this year- 160!

Representatives from many of these organizations attended our Success Series workshops, which concluded last week with an engaging panel discussion and the awarding of our first pre-event prize!
