What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We believe that a larger impact can be made when people come together.
We receive donations from people who are passionate about philanthropically helping to address local needs in Boone County. We invest those gifts so they grow and maximize the resources we have to support the 100+ nonprofits that help Boone County thrive. Our endowed funds are invested to preserve the original value of these gifts and grow our assets over time.

We market through all forms of communication to share the story of the Community Foundation of Boone County and the work that has been done throughout our history.

We have engaged a very strong Board of Directors, with members from all points of the county in a variety of fields. They bring a wealth of knowledge and experience, to ensure they are guiding the work of the foundation while staying true and focused on our mission.
We have three full-time staff members, two part-time staff members, and range from one to three interns throughout the year. The team is focused in on their areas of expertise, while continually educating themselves on the multiple aspects of the foundation and the work that is done. Ensuring that all staff know about all departments helps to deliver the best customer service to anyone reaching out to the foundation.
With every new year, the Community Foundation of Boone County establishes new relationships with a variety of constituents throughout Boone County communities, which continue to help bring collaboration to the forefront of conversations with people all over the county.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
CFBC has grown to nearly $30 million in net assets since our inception in 1991. Over the last 30 years, we have awarded over $26 million in granting opportunities to local nonprofit. As our endowment continues to grow, we now average around $1 million each year awarded out to local nonprofits and students in grants and scholarships.
