what is a community
foundation...
The
Community Foundation provides a means to build a substantial amount of
money over time from the contributions of people of significant wealth
and modest means, and to use the income from these funds, in the form of
grants, to meet the community’s charitable needs now and into the
future. The Community Foundation has three unique features:
Local expertise - Personalized service -
Community convener
Our
Mission...
The Chester County Community Foundation connects people who care
with the causes that matter, so their philanthropy makes a difference
now and forever.
About us...
Since
1994, the Community Foundation has actively partnered with donors
who believe that positive change occurs through effective charitable
giving. Today, we manage more than 350 charitable funds started by
individuals, families, businesses and nonprofit organizations. Together,
these funds represent ordinary people who have made extraordinary
commitments to our community.

Ben franklin legacy society...
The
Ben Franklin Legacy Society recognizes all those who have notified the
Chester County Community Foundation that they have included any fund of
the Community Foundation in their will or other deferred giving plan.
The Society derives its name from the
Benjamin Franklin Trust which Ben himself set up in the 1790's, to be
distributed 200 years after his death. Two centuries later in
1996, Chester County Community Foundation's first planned gift was a
portion of this original trust.
