Why choose the North Woodward Community Foundation?

Not all Community Foundations are created equal. Community Foundations can differ from one another a great deal. We, at the North Woodward Community Foundation, have dedicated our efforts to investing in citizen driven initiatives to enhance the quality of life in the communities we serve, through philanthropy. Our “hands-on” philosophy is concentrated on two specific areas: Children and childhood hunger, and the promotion of programs to aid our senior citizen population. We actively seek and initiate partnerships that promote our mission and vision. The North Woodward Community Foundation is governed by a board of directors, a set of local leaders whose concerns, roles and demographic mix, broadly represent the population of the communities the Foundation serves.

The North Woodward Community Foundation offers three primary services:

We provide a stable and secure venue for local (and non-local) donors who wish to contribute their cash, trusts, bequest or real property to create permanent endowments that will benefit the community in perpetuity.
Likewise, we are also a conduit for local (and non-local) individuals, foundations and public resource providers that seek to channel their current non-endowed giving ("pass-through" and “Fiscal Sponsorship” accounts) toward purposes that will benefit the community.
Using the investment earnings on each endowed fund, any available pass-through dollars, and our ability to partner and leverage other resources into the effort, we work to support, build, enrich, protect, safeguard and serve our communities. We can help your gifts make the greatest impact.
