Who Are We?
Indian River Community Foundation is a vibrant nonprofit enterprise with a powerfully simple mission of building a better community through donor-driven philanthropy.
What Do We Do?
Indian River Community Foundation’s business is philanthropy, and we are in business for three reasons:
- We help generous people simplify donations and give to the causes they love through charitable giving accounts.
- We inspire generous people to create and leave a charitable legacy to support causes they care about through permanent endowments.
- We use the philanthropic capital entrusted to us to find, fund and follow effective charitable organizations, program and projects that make our Indian River community better.
Our History of Giving
Since the Foundation’s establishment in 2008, our community of donors has grown to hold more than 140 named funds with assets of approximately $30 million. Together with our donors, the Foundation has granted more than $38 million from these named funds to support charitable organizations locally and across the country.
Our Founders made the initial financial commitment to support the Foundation’s operating costs and the Board of Directors are entrusted to oversee the Foundation’s mission.
Our Cumulative Impact
With a cumulative impact of $68 million, Indian River Community Foundation is one of the fastest growing new community foundations in the state of Florida, and one of the most active grantmaking community foundations in the country. The Foundation has quickly become known as one of the most knowledgeable philanthropic resources locally, and its professional staff is dedicated to providing the highest quality service its donors.
