WHY GIVE THROUGH
THE HUDSON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
Make every dollar count.
What is a Community Foundation? It’s a local public charity dedicated to improving the community where you live. We bring together the financial resources of individuals, families, businesses and organizations to support effective nonprofits in our community. Here’s how it works.
For the community:
-
We facilitate donations used to address community needs and support local nonprofits. - A community foundation’s grantmaking programs are supported both by donations designated for immediate distribution and income from the foundation’s funds.
-
Community foundations are funded by donations from individuals, families, businesses and organizations.
Philanthropic Funds for Charitable Giving:

We offer a variety type of funds such including donor-advised funds, designated, endowments, scholarships, field-of-interest funds, giving circles and more
