We also gratefully acknowledge all of our Fundholders, Donors, and Partners who generously contribute their time, resources and energies to make Burlington the best place to live, work and raise a family.  On National Philanthropy Day, the Burlington Community Foundation pays tribute to the great contributions that philanthropy – and those active in the philanthropic community – have made to our lives, our communities and our world.  Together we will continue to build a strong community and leave a legacy for generations to come.
