The
Greater PineBelt Community Foundation was conceived in 1997 by an Area
Development Partnership Leaders
for
A
New
Century class. This annual community service
initiative is now known as Leadership
Pine Belt.
A
group
of
civic
and
business
leaders
assisted the class
in
the
foundation
planning.
These
leaders realized the need for a local community foundation to serve as a
steward for community improvement.
All foundation documents were complete and business began
in early 1998.
There are over 700
community foundations in the United States, which represent the fastest
growing opportunity for community
philanthropy.
Foundation Operation
The
Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that manages permanent
endowments and fiscal sponsorship funds. It is governed by a board of directors, familiar with
community needs and chosen to represent a cross-section of public interests.
Donations
received by the Foundation are used to benefit a number of projects that
improve the quality of life in
the community and benefit future generations. Currently, the Foundation
manages assets in excess
of $1.3 million.
