Navigating Funds & Financial Support - Webinar Available Now!


You may know The County Foundation for our grant programs and for Vital Signs - but a big part of our work includes Fund Management. Learn about our funds in this webinar hosted by Executive Director Dominique Jones and Grants Manager Gillian Armstrong. 


As part of this webinar, learn about our new Expression of Interest form. The purpose of the form is to connect the needs of organizations with our network of donors and fundholders.

New for 2025 - Expression of Interest Form


The County Foundation is launching a new Expression of Interest form for 2025. Organizations can share information with us about their current needs and what they are seeking support for, and we can provide this to our network of donors and fundholders to see if anyone is interested in supporting or learning more. 


Here are some tips on submitting an Expression of Interest. These are meant to be a brief description of your organization and what you are looking for support for, so we recommend not spending more than 15 minutes submitting a request through the form. 


While there are many deserving causes in our community, donors often choose to support the areas they feel most passionate about, which may not always align with your specific request. As such, you will only be contacted if a donor expresses interest in learning more or is interested in supporting your cause.


We look forward to learning more about the needs of your organization, so this can be shared with our Donor Advised Funds. We hope this will be an opportunity to better connect the needs of local organizations with the generous individuals and families in our community who give through The County Foundation. 


Important note: Your organization must be a Qualified Donee (such as a registered charity) to receive funding from a Donor Advised Fund, so we are only accepting Expressions of Interest from Qualified Donees at this time.
