We do this by managing more than 200 charitable funds created by members of the community, each with its own grantmaking focus. The Community Foundation also brings people together to create partnerships that solve community problems, or take advantage of opportunities, using philanthropy as a tool. Our primary service area includes Princeton, Trenton, Hamilton and all other Mercer County municipalities, and the surrounding communities in Hunterdon, Somerset, Middlesex, Monmouth and Burlington Counties. Created in 1991, the Community Foundation has grown quickly. It now manages 210 charitable funds, including 20 agency endowments. The Community Foundation is one of more than 700 community foundations across the nation and the first New Jersey community foundation to be certified under rigorous National Standards.

That puts more than 98 cents of every dollar directly to work for charitable purposes. Last year, the Community Foundation awarded some $2.5 million in grants. Since our founding we have granted $23.5 million back to the community.
