Through our Rising Together Grants, the Community Foundation awarded $264,000 this year to support 18 local organizations advancing our Lifelong Learning pillar. Supported by the Paul Clarke Endowment and the Community Impact Fund, these grants—ranging from $5,000 to $27,000—strengthen education and skill-building opportunities for learners of all ages, from early childhood programs to adult workforce development.
