Community Foundation for the Alleghenies is years into a comprehensive strategic plan. More than 100 people participated in Bedford, Cambria, Indiana and Somerset counties. Individuals who participated included donors, community leaders, grantees, professional wealth advisers, and volunteers. We are very grateful you took the time to share your thoughts about the Community Foundation and how we might continue to be engaged and working to make our communities better for everyone.

One of the rewarding things about strategic planning is getting the opportunity to listen and be challenged to establish goals that will help meet the needs of our region. We want to grow and prosper for the benefit of everyone. With your input, we have created an ambitious plan. Those of you who expressed a familiarity with the Community Foundation clearly called for this kind of ambition. For those of you who were not as familiar with us, we hope your recent experience and a quick read of our plan will be encouraging in terms of knowing our determination to grow a culture of philanthropy that will grow an abundance of resources to achieve a perpetual impact for our region.

There are two ways to review this plan.
