Our values are inclusion, accountability, and continuous learning. We offer community leadership, grantmaking, philanthropic services, and student aid for our community. At the end of 2020, the Foundation had assets of more than $626.3 million. In 2020 we granted $125.8 million to charitable causes, $3.2 million of which was through the Community Grants program, and in 2020, we awarded more than $2 million in scholarships for local students.
