“There are many things I enjoy about working at the Community Foundation – seeing the difference the Community Foundation makes in the community through the nonprofit organizations we support, the transformational impact of scholarship awards on students who likely wouldn’t have the opportunity to attend college, the families we have the privilege of helping with their legacies, and the Community Foundation staff – we truly have the very best people on the Foundation team.” – Heidi Ludwig, Chief Operating Officer
