Letter from the Foundation President I am pleased to present Your Impact Quarterly, a new magazine publication from The Community Foundation. You will receive a printed magazine like this one twice per year along with our e-newsletter. If you don’t already receive the e-newsletter you can sign up on our website. Through this magazine, we will share stories of projects, collaborations and change that you, our donors, made possible. This month marks one year since the world turned upside down due to the coronavirus pandemic. In a year unlike any other, the Foundation continued pursuing our mission to improve the quality of life in Hancock County by partnering with you to serve those in need. In the inaugural issue of Your Impact, we tell a story of the eviction prevention program, a collaborative effort to keep our family, friends and neighbors safe in their homes during this critical time. This is just one example of how your gifts have changed, and potentially saved lives. I cannot overstate how grateful I am. From your support to the work of local nonprofits organizations, to the service of healthcare workers, frontline responders and many more, there are too many people to thank by name. But know that you made a difference in the lives of many in 2020 and will continue to do so in 2021. As we continue to navigate the impact of the pandemic, the Foundation will support the work taking place to care for our neighbors and recover from the aftereffects. I invite you to give to the Community Emergency Support Fund to be a part of this work as well. So far, nearly $300,000 has been awarded from this fund and we hope to continue to make grants so long as dollars are available. Yours in service,
Brian P. Treece, Ed.D. President & CEO – The Community Foundation
