We provide a way for those who care about our community to impact it positively through permanent and growing assets to respond to area needs. Through us, caring community people fund scholarships, programs, and projects to benefit education; the arts and culture; character education; historic preservation; parks, beautification and recreation; and seniors, youth and those with disabilities in Fairfield and Fairfield Township.
