The Norfolk Area Community Foundation Fund aims to shape the future of the Norfolk area by growing a permanent endowment to continue making a difference in people's lives, inspiring a thriving community where giving back is a priority, and partnering with others to foster teamwork and a culture of giving. They emphasize fairness, reliability, integrity, and respect in their dealings with donors, recipients, and the community.
The Imperial Community Foundation Fund grant program focuses on investing in people through leadership development, educational opportunities, youth engagement, community involvement, business succession, and supporting senior citizens. It also aims to enhance and protect the quality of life in the area by supporting recreation, parks, fine arts, education, healthcare, and maintaining a safe, clean, and positive environment. These efforts align with their vision of creating a community enriched with economic opportunities, innovation, quality healthcare, world-class education, ample housing, and recreation options, all aimed at enriching the quality of life for community members.
