At The Community Foundation of Elmira-Corning and the Finger Lakes, we make giving easy for people from all walks of life, whether they've given before, or are just getting started.

We know from experience that effective giving requires knowledge and access to actionable information. As a Community Foundation donor, you benefit from our time and expertise. We can help deepen your understanding of grantmaking and philanthropy by answering your questions, comparing various giving approaches, researching specific issue areas in our community and the organizations that address them, and building a suitable grantmaking strategy for your fund that's easy, effective and enduring.

From start to finish, our service and flexibility make The Community Foundation the best choice for those who wish to match their philanthropic goals with solid, results-oriented opportunities that address the community's most pressing needs now, and will for future generations.

If becoming a Community Foundation donor is your intent, please contact us. If you are planning a gift today that will provide significant benefits to our community in the future, we encourage you to consider becoming a member of The David C. Mandeville Legacy Society, which helps us promote the seeds of philanthropy in our community.
