annual 08 | 07 t its heart, The Community Foundation is about connections. Connecting resources to Aneeds. Connecting passion to expression. Connecting individuals to community. Connecting each of us to our best self. Yet, that core of connection can sometimes be obscured by all the activity it generates. That’s why we’re focusing this year’s annual report on the theme, “I am connected.” This report invites us to gather around stories of individuals who have worked with The Community Foundation, becoming more connected to their community as a result. We hope that, by sharing these stories—which, for all their uniqueness, are similar to countless others that we are privileged to hear every day—we will all feel more connected. connectedI am
