A Legacy of Giving: Honoring Our Donors
The People Behind the Impact
For more than 70 years, thousands of generous donors have contributed to our Community Impact Funds, allowing us to give back more than $1 million in unrestricted grants each year to strengthen our communities. These funds have been built through both individual gifts—including many anonymous and smaller contributions over the years—and the named unrestricted funds listed below. These named funds were established by individuals, families, and organizations who made a lasting commitment to the Foundation’s mission, ensuring we can continue our dynamic work and respond to ever-changing community needs for generations to come.
The list below represents all unrestricted funds at the Hamilton Community Foundation and our affiliates, the Ross and Fairfield Community Foundations. Each unrestricted fund benefits the community that it was established for.
