Pillars of a healthy community
To make the greatest impact, we direct our resources to strengthening the following six aspects of a healthy community
Arts and Culture
Arts and cultural organizations help preserve and celebrate the area’s heritage, history and ecology. We support local museums, interpretive centers, and visual and performing arts to protect and promote the regional culture.
