We’ve all heard it: we live in a generous community. Some are born with this generous spirit and others learn it, realizing that working with others can help accomplish dreams that would be impossible on our own.

Despite the fact that Birmingham was, at the time, a much bigger city than her hometown, “It was a sad departure for me,” she remembers. “My love for Columbus never faded.” Steiner did remain in Birmingham through her high school and college years, as well as a 35-year marriage. That was plenty of time to become deeply involved in the community, and Steiner gave many years of service to organizations such as the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. She also created a Fund with the Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham. When her marriage ended, though, Steiner felt the pull of Preservation, and even to the Royal Oak Foundation in New her birthplace once again. “My two children were grown and York and the Association of National Park Rangers. living in New York and California, so I was free to explore a And yet, despite frequent disbursements to those and many new life.

Fortunately, I found a very welcoming community.” management. She also found a community foundation where she could “I quickly saw that my Fund was in good hands with the easy, transfer the Donor Advised Fund she’d created. That efficient and caring work of the Community Foundation,” enabled Steiner to continue giving generously to worthy Steiner says. “I was amazed that after the first year, I was able causes just as she had in Birmingham. Those causes to make many grants without reducing my principal. included local groups such as the Columbus Botanical “That has continued during my eight years with the excellent Garden, Columbus Museum, Columbus Symphony Orchestra, management provided here.

But they also extended to the says. “My choice of grants has never been questioned, and the LaGrange Art Museum and the Georgia Trust for Historic staff couldn’t be nicer to work with. You just can’t beat it!” TARGETING a BETTER-CONNECTED COLUMBUS and LAGRANGE people return from France talking about the art museums they Most visited and the wines and cheeses they consumed. But when Bob Goehring spent a month with his daughter and son-in-law, who currently live in Lyon, he came back to LaGrange talking about bicycles. “We rode everywhere there,” Goehring says. “We could’ve ridden all the way from Lyon to the Mediterranean, or just about to Paris, on multi-use trails. I came back and basically said, ‘I want to live in a community like that.’” Meanwhile, officials from Columbus were taking a much shorter trip—to Georgia’s neighbor to the east, South Carolina—but realizing much the same thing. “A group of Columbus leaders quickly learned from our inter-city visit to Greenville, S.C., that our trail system needed branding,” says Isaiah Hugley, Columbus’ city manager. Some determined community activism, combined with an assist from the CFCV, is ensuring that both cities will be crisscrossed with trails for biking and walking in a few years’ time. Columbus’ Dragonfly Trial network will add 27 miles of off-road trail and connect the Fall Line Trace with the RiverWalk, while the Thread Trail in LaGrange will be 27 miles of brand-new trail winding throughout the city. Both cities’ efforts are public-private partnerships, and both are benefiting from CFCV’s 501(c)(3) status in their efforts to bolster the private side. That’s helped them enlist the support of the Atlanta-based PATH Foundation, the driving force behind the Atlanta Beltline, in designing useful, feasible trail networks. Those networks mean more than just the opportunity for an afternoon stroll or bike ride, says Ed McBrayer, executive director of PATH. “Cities that have invested in walkability and bikeability are competing well for young, educated adults and the employers who seek to hire them,” he explains. “Baby boomers are choosing their retirement locations based on the ability to walk and bike to shops and eateries. Parents are choosing to raise their children in communities where their kids can safely walk or bike to school. The trail phenomenon is sweeping the country.” Construction is underway in Columbus on the first segment of the Dragonfly, so named because dragonflies are an indicator species for healthy water in a community and the dragonfly population has exploded in Columbus in recent years with the increased level of health of the Chattahoochee River. The connection between the Fall Line Trace and the RiverWalk will be completed in the first half of 2017. In LaGrange, thanks in part to the CFCV’s help getting started, the Friends of the Thread Trail organization—of which Goehring serves as president—recently achieved 501(c) (3) status itself, enabling it to build its own independent fundraising base. “They’re easy to work with and very helpful to us,” Goehring says of the CFCV. “We’re enormously thankful for their participation, support and encouragement. It’s been great working with them.” Columbus – 9th Street Before TARGETING a BETTER-CONNECTED COLUMBUS and LAGRANGE
