The Community Foundation undertakes special grant projects that are much larger in scope, budget, impact and duration than our annual grants. Special Initiatives are most often implemented over a period of several years and are always funded in partnership with other funders and foundations. The Community Foundation takes an active leadership role in the development and implementation of all Special Initiative projects.
