Our Community’s Foundation
The Community Foundation welcomed LaSandra Gaddy as President and CEO in February. Staff, Board of Trustees and donor, volunteer, nonprofit and community partners are engaging in the Community Foundation's new century of service and impact.
"The work we do every day, and that so many partners contribute to, makes a real difference in our community," said LaSandra Gaddy, president and CEO. "It's our responsibility and honor to steer the Community Foundation's resources to address needs. There is much to be done, and I look forward to all we will accomplish together."
The Community Foundation's mission is to build and manage our community’s permanent endowment and lead the community to strengthen the lives of its people. We aim to create a West Michigan where opportunity, prosperity and belonging are the right of everyone who calls this region home, today and into the future.
