Funds at the Foundation
Think of The Community Foundation for Kingston & Area as a community savings account. Donations are pooled and held in a permanent endowment fund, which is invested. The income earned is used to make grants to charities whose projects fit our mission of "enhancing and strengthening the quality of life in our community." All funds are open to donations of any size. For a description of each of the types of funds endowed at the Community Foundation, visit our Establishing a Fund page.
