Community Foundation Resolves to Accomplish Four Goals in 2017
BE RESOLVED, BE RESOLUTE!
It’s that time of year when we see articles about the big moments in 2016 and predictions for 2017. It is also the time many of us make resolutions. I am probably like many of you about resolutions, keeping some, not keeping several. But as an organization, the Community Foundation of Western Nevada has a much better record of keeping its resolutions. I predict the Community Foundation will make the following resolutions come true in 2017:
- To grow, through an active campaign, the Community Endowment. This charitable resource will last forever, growing each year in size, and more importantly, in its impact to make Northern Nevada a better place for us, and for future generations.
- To implement measures to make life better for the thousands of caregivers in our community. No duplication of effort here, just better access to help, new information and resources, and a spotlight on improvements our community can make that will aid their situation.
- To launch our Corporate Partnership Program. Through the Corporate Partnership, corporations engage with other stakeholders and bring about the impact in the community that is meaningful to them, their employees, their shareholders, and to the community.
- To begin Impact Investing. Much discussed and processed, 2017 is the year in which we will make our first, second, then many investments in our community. Charitable funds at the Community Foundation will produce investment income and help out in our own backyard.
