That’s why we’ve created The Pillar Society, a group of philanthropists dedicated to supporting the Community Foundation in our efforts to help nonprofits address the needs of community. We know the needs in Marion County may look overwhelming, but by having strong philanthropic leaders alongside the Foundation, we can work together to build a stronger community enhancing the quality of life for everyone. Members of The Pillar Society lead by example and be part of the solutions needed, while the Foundation serves as the guide connecting passions to purpose. Our vision continues to CREATE a philanthropic community where giving back comes naturally, CONNECT leadership and resources to protect and propel our community, and CAPITALIZE on funding causes that are important to our community. We need you to take this vision to levels we have never seen before.
