40th Anniversary Campaign – Adams County Community Foundation (PA)

The Adams County Community Foundation is building a permanent charitable endowment to address the pressing needs of today and to secure the future of our community. We invite you to contribute to our 40th Anniversary Campaign, helping us reach our bold goal of $40 million in current gifts and new charitable legacy intentions.

Reaching this goal will effectively triple the Community Foundation’s endowment, which today stands at $22 million. That will enable us to triple our annual grants and increase the amounts distributed each year to small nonprofits with individual endowments at the Community Foundation. This Campaign represents a rising tide for all of Adams County.
