This was a year like no other.

We saw businesses close and nonprofits struggle to figure out how they were going to continue their important work. At the same time, many in our region confronted injustice, illness, economic hardship, and the loss of friends, neighbors, and family members.

Through our toughest days, however, we saw inspiring examples of our community coming together to support those in need. Just as the Community Foundation has done for the last four decades, we listened, reached out, and responded with thoughtful, strong, effective action.
