Strengthening Our Future

 

 

Council on Foundations National Standards
The Union County Foundation complies with the National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations.

“We make a living by what we get...

We make a life by what we give.”

Sir Winston Churchill


To Our Friends, Neighbors, & Benefactors,
There is great satisfaction in seeing people come together for a common good. The Union County Foundation is a wonderful example of what can be accomplished when people have a common vision and are willing to give of themselves to that end. Not so very long ago a group of Union County community leaders sensed the need for a community foundation that would encourage and facilitate charitable activity in our County. In a few short years that original vision has grown into a credible and viable organization that Union County citizens and professional advisors can turn to with confidence in regards to all manner of charitable giving.

We have come a good distance in a short time and of that we are justifiably proud. The journey before us is only limited by our ability to dream. We choose to dream big. Please join us in turning those dreams into reality. The Union County Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that assists individuals and organizations with fulfilling their charitable goals. The Foundation supports and enables the accumulation, investment, and distribution of charitable dollars to benefit the citizens of Union County.

The Union County Foundation supports programs and projects of promise that are responsive to your community needs. Its assets provide a type of venture capital for creative problem solving and strengthening key community institutions to accomplish their missions more effectively and independently.

You and your family have extraordinary opportunities to support a growing community trust that will serve many generations to come. As you contribute during your lifetime to the causes and organizations that are special to you, the Foundation will enable you to sustain your legacy. Through your gifts that are invested, local charitable causes benefit today and in the future.

The Union County Foundation complies with the Council on Foundations' National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations. We are a 501(c)(3) not for profit charitable organization. The Foundation's IRS Form990 is available for public review during scheduled office hours.

The Union County Foundation is a resource available to the residents and their families, community leaders, and corporate neighbors of our region. Together, we can build a stronger, enduring community in which to live and work.
