ABOUT THE PARTNERSHIP
For Good. Forever.
The Community Foundation Partnership, Inc. (CFP) is comprised of two local Community Foundation members: Lawrence County Community Foundation and Martin County Community Foundation.
CFP supports its member Foundations by providing streamlined management, administrative, fundraising, and endowment building expertise allowing the County Foundations to focus on promoting philanthropy, endowment building, and making a difference in their respective communities.
Different from a stand-alone foundation, CFP provides governance as the legal entity under which its member Foundations operate. The members own and govern CFP, which provides operational support to local foundation staff and boards.
