Princeton Area Community Foundation

 

Mission & Values

 

promoting philanthropy

The Community Foundation promotes giving as a shared community value—something we simply expect of ourselves and others, which connects us and helps us all grow.

We believe in sharing resources—money, ideas, talents, and time—and we encourage generosity in ourselves and others.

​

to advance the well-being of our communities

We help people invest in outstanding local organizations—successful nonprofits that are making lives better across central New Jersey and beyond.

So far, your friends and neighbors have put more than $31 million to work improving our region. Beyond that, they have built up permanent reserves of more than $74 million to sustain us all in the future.

​

forever

Your investments in the Community Foundation are doing good things now. Endowed funds will also take care of generations to come.

​

We can’t know what challenges our children may face, but we can help them be ready.
