Community Foundation of Dutchess County

Founded in 1969 as The Area Fund, the Community Foundation of Dutchess County is a public, nonprofit organization created by area residents as a permanent resource for the entire county to make our region a better place for all of us to live and grow…today, tomorrow and always.  

As a driving philanthropic force in our community, our mission is to strengthen our community by offering donors the means to establish charitable legacies, by making grants, and by providing leadership to address community needs in a manner that is responsible, responsive and lasting.

To accomplish this we:  

  • Help donors in their charitable giving
  • Assist financial advisors and attorneys to explore giving options to benefit their clients
  • Establish endowment funds for nonprofits and other charitable causes
  • Provide grants and resources to community organizations, and
  • Work with government, private foundations, and local leaders to address current and emerging needs.
