Meet our Founders
Building a Stronger Community Together
Since its inception in March 2022, the Ross Community Foundation Board of Trustees has been dedicated to growing the Unrestricted Community Impact Fund to support lasting change in our community.
In July of that year, we launched the "Give Where You Live" campaign with an ambitious goal: to raise $500,000 by the end of 2022. Thanks to the generosity of our founding donors, we not only met but exceeded this goal!
We are deeply grateful to the individuals and organizations who made this success possible. Your support has helped lay the foundation for a stronger, more vibrant community.
Through our annual Community Harvest Campaign, the Foundation continues to raise support for the Unrestricted Community Impact Fund—ensuring we can respond to evolving needs and opportunities in Ross. In addition to our founding donors, we’re grateful for the many individuals and organizations who contribute each year to keep this momentum going. Learn more about the campaign and see a list of our annual supporters at the link below.
