“Starting our family’s Donor Advised Fund was a simple process that took less than an hour. The Foundation’s staff is always available to answer any questions we may have and they’re also very knowledgeable about what’s happening throughout the county’s charitable sector. Getting involved and opening a fund has shifted the way we think about philanthropy and the long-term impact we can have and the legacy we can leave in our beloved community.”
— Lynn Dickerson, Dickerson Family Foundation Fund
