Be Inspired by Our Success Stories

We exist to serve the people of Burlington. We're inspiring generous donors to build endowment funds that support vital community needs today and for the future. Focused on health and social services, arts and culture, education, recreation and the environment, we are proud of our many community impact as well as donor and fundholder successes, including:

• Moving seniors out of chronic isolation by providing access to critical social programs.
• Leading support for local museums to preserve rare artifacts and oral histories, and
  helping to enrich our performing arts sector.
• Cultivating our leaders of tomorrow by connecting promising students to higher education through our scholarship funds.
• Nurturing young children from low-income families to learn, get fit and build self-confidence
  by participating in funded sports programs.
• Improving our water quality by bringing together multiple partners to collaborate on replenishing Grindstone Creek through the removal of 500 lbs of trash and planting native trees and shrubs.
