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.
Summer means many things - extra daylight hours for outdoor activities, family vacations, and a great time to be a kid!

For our team at Centre Foundation, summer means Centre Inspires. We encourage you to take advantage of the guided hikes provided by Centred Outdoors each Sunday and Wednesday. Ideas for the next Centre Inspires grants are also being accepted now through July 27th.

Families have been reflecting on their philanthropic legacy lately too, as we had a "community reunion" of sorts at the annual Campbell Legacy Society Luncheon recently.

This is also the time that locals vote for the "Best of" in our area. The past two years, Centre Gives has been a proud recipient of the "Best Fundraising Event" award and we'd be honored if you voted for this community event again this year. Votes may be cast here.

I hope your summer is filled with engaging projects, ample amounts of sunshine, and lots of love!

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

Each Sunday and Wednesday this Summer!

    The latest Centre Inspires grant program is here just in time for summer fun! ClearWater Conservancy received a $100,000 grant from Centre Foundation for this guided outdoor adventure series.  

  Whether you’re looking for a family-friendly outing, a guided exploration of a yet-unexplored trail, a healthy ‘PARx’ recommendation, or a learning experience with flora and fauna sightings – Centred Outdoors will have something for everyone.

Centred Outdoors events began in June and feature guided hikes and outdoor activities. Participants tracking their progress online will be eligible to win end-of-summer prizes!

In the Community:
$100,000 Available for Ideas to Transform our Community!

What project would you like to implement to meet a local need and encourage the people of Centre County to become more engaged in their community?

This is the question that applicants are answering to secure funding from Centre Foundation’s $100,000 Centre Inspires granting program.

Applications due by July 27th.
Do you want to be a part of deciding a $10,000 grant?

Giving Circle members will meet on August 30th to hear from three local organizations about projects in need of funding. While all organizations will receive a grant, members' votes that evening will decide which organization receives a $10,000 grant.

Want to be a part of the impact? Join now! To encourage philanthropy at all ages, annual memberships are available on a sliding scale.
