 2010 Board of Directors



The board members of the Freeport Community Foundation take their role as stewards of the Foundation’s funds very seriously.  We are proud of our success in striking a balance between the desire to increase our assets while also addressing the needs of the community through grants.  

The Freeport Community Foundation’s assets are managed by a local wealth management service in accordance with an investment policy approved by the Board of Directors.  In 2006, the Freeport Community Foundation’s investments produced a 16.6% return.  Our average annual return since October 1, 2004 has been 14.63%.

As our funds grow, so does our ability to respond to community needs, as evidenced by the fact that in 2007 the Freeport Community Foundation  awarded $170,750.00!  That is a huge contribution to the community!  We granted 45 grants to 40 organizations.

  

People who care, with causes that matter.
