As we approach the Monroe County Bicentennial in 2018, it is exciting to think about what the next 100 years will bring for this community and how this Foundation can play a part in defining Monroe County’s continued success.

While we cannot know what the next 100 years will bring, we feel confident that Monroe County will continue to be powered by giving.

The thoughtful philanthropy of those who live and invest in Monroe County helps to ensure that this community is one that every generation wants to call home.
