Community Foundations: Making Local Impact

What is a community foundation?  Why do they matter?  Many people have heard of them but could not quite tell you what they do, despite there being about 700 of them in the United States---and likely one near you!  Community foundations know their locales very well: they help facilitate millions in gifts to nonprofits focused on behavioral health, food scarcity, the environment, education, housing, and so many more themes.  How can you learn more about community foundations and their impact, including how they can use donor-advised funds for impact?  Chris Beach, Senior VP at The Minneapolis Foundation, passionately relays the importance of what community foundations bring to the table and how donor-advised funds play a critical role.
