Community foundations have a unique niche in the philanthropic community.
They link local needs and local donors. They are committed to being
a bridge serving both donors and grantees.
The Headwaters Group can help your community foundation make a

of the contributors. We can help your foundation craft philanthropic

We bring expertise in community foundation development and grantmaking
through program research
