Local Philanthropy Must Embrace Working for Racial and Social Justice
Your Community Foundation has access to tools and resources to share about how to work for more just, equitable and inclusive communities. For example:
Two funds, Social Justice Fund and Collective Impact Fund, along with donor advised funds are examples of resources you can support and which have made grants in our local communities. We have an area of grantmaking we call Community Building to track our work. Some 2019 grant examples in the Community Building category include:

New Door Opener Society
|
|
|
2020 inductees John Hinchcliff, Kim Rothman and Bill Currie
|
Beginning in 2020 and each year, professional advisors who are outstanding partners with the Community Foundation in the promotion of philanthropy in our region are recognized with our
Door Opener Society award.
Members of the Door Opener Society provide a valuable service to their clients and to the people of Tompkins County. Every new gift, fund and bequest provides much-needed philanthropic resources in Tompkins County. All donors who inform us of their plans become members of our Legacy Society either publicly or anonymously.
Many professional advisors work with the Community Foundation to help clients achieve their charitable goals through an outright gift, giving to or creating a fund or bequest.
Congratulations to our first recipients John Hinchcliff, Kim Rothman and Bill Currie!
Thank you to all who design, craft and customize their financial objectives to include charitable giving.
