Her perspective highlights the lasting impact of community foundations—bringing people together, simplifying giving, and creating a legacy that continues to serve future generations.
As we celebrate 20 years, Julie’s story is a meaningful look at where we started—and why this work still matters today.
Watch and be inspired by the power of giving, for good, forever.
