Donors
Since 1982, with an initial gift from Ruth Redding, hundreds of donors of gifts and bequests who care deeply about all aspects of island life on Martha’s Vineyard have created an extraordinary force for good at the Martha’s Vineyard Community Foundation. With over $13 million in current assets under management, 46 individual funds, and a robust $1.4 million General Discretionary Fund for unrestricted use, the Foundation is a mosaic of sophisticated, smart, poignant donor intent that is distributed each year with great care by our Board.
Donors of gifts and bequests who choose to work with Community Foundation will enjoy customized and thoughtful service from our staff, wise counsel from our island-based Board, and increasingly creative and entrepreneurial options from the organization, as a whole. We look forward to providing our donors and bequest intenders with exciting new ways to express themselves philanthropically, and we are eager to learn from all of our donors as we grow together.
