Heidi Ludwig
Chief Operating Officer

“There are many things I enjoy about the Community Foundation – seeing the difference we make in the community through the nonprofit organizations we support, the 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 our staff – we truly have the very best people on the Foundation team.”
