Centre County
Learn More. Get Inspired. Take Action.
Q&A with Kerry Tolton, Development and Stewardship Director at Centre Foundation about why the Fund for Centre County Matters.
Why did Centre Foundation open the Fund for Centre County, and what exactly is it?
A: The Fund for Centre County was created to give Centre Foundation the ability to respond to community needs in a flexible and lasting way. Gifts are invested; therefore, the fund grows over time. What makes it unique is that it’s not tied to one single cause or program. Instead, resources are directed wherever they’re needed most—today and in the future.
The Centre County We’re Strengthening Together
Every community is eventually asked a defining question:
What do we do when more of our neighbors need help?
This year, Centre Foundation’s 45th Anniversary is becoming more than a celebration of the past, it is a chance to shape what happens next for the people and organizations our community depends on most.
Learn how you can help meet this moment through our special $1-for-$1 match campaign.
