Dear Friend of the Community Foundation,
Since 1972, the annual support provided by you and other generous Community Sponsors has built a strong and effective Community Foundation.
Thanks to your operating donations, the Community Foundation built a youth philanthropy program that educates and inspires students in kindergarten through grade twelve, provided strategic planning services at no charge to local nonprofit organizations, and awarded over 500 grants and scholarships in just the past year. Each day brings a new opportunity for the community to grow stronger thanks to the power of philanthropy.
Please take a moment to learn more about our work as you peruse the enclosed annual report. We are proud to share that 2017-2018 was a year of substantial growth, which was made possible by the generosity of you and your neighbors who believe that a strong Community Foundation is essential to the quality of life in Elmira, Corning, and the entire Finger Lakes Region.
We hope you will support our efforts by making a gift to the annual Community Sponsors campaign this year. Your support means the world to us!
Warm wishes,
Randi Hewit
President
