What does the Community Foundation do for Kettering?
Our mission
The Community Foundation for Kettering operates exclusively for charitable and education purposes, including the promotion and support of charitable, cultural, social, educational and recreational programs, agencies and institutions in the Kettering community.
What we do
The Community Foundation for Kettering was created with the sole purpose of providing charitable support for projects and programs that improve the quality of life for Kettering residents. We connect local needs to the generosity of donors who want to see the impact of their gift-giving right here in Kettering.
For our nonprofit partners…
We provide grants that allow local nonprofit organizations to directly benefit Kettering residents through two types of activities:
- New or start-up projects not currently provided by other organizations, and
- Efforts by existing organizations to undertake unique activities or projects.
For our donors…
We provide a trustworthy, cost-effective and flexible vehicle for donors to make charitable contributions. With The Dayton Foundation as our partner, we are able to offer many easy and attractive ways to achieve donors’ gift-giving goals.
