Mission Statement

To enrich the quality of life by responding to needs and inspiring philanthropy in our community.

Overview

A community foundation is a charitable organization created by and for a community of people. It is supported by local donors and governed by a board of private citizens who work toward the greater good of the community.

We connect donors to opportunities for meaningful change in our community. We make sense of our community’s complex needs by building deep relationships with local residents, nonprofit organizations, businesses, and the public sector. We use that knowledge to help donors transform their hopes and dreams into acts of effective and enduring philanthropy.

Since our founding in 1992, we have partnered with hundreds of local donors to invest over ten million dollars in charitable giving into the cities of Staunton, Waynesboro, and the counties of Augusta, Nelson and Highland.

Key Programs

Title:	Dawbarn Education Awards
Description:	In 1992, H. Dunlop “Buz” Dawbarn established a fund at the Community Foundation to improve education in his local community by providing cash awards to individuals who have most successfully inspired, encouraged, and fostered learning in young people below the college level. He had a particular interest in public school education. https://cfcbr.org/education-awards/
