Our Mission
Charitable Dreams for Community Needs
"The mission of the Community Foundation of Howard County is to improve the quality of life in the community through the accumulation and stewardship of enduring charitable gifts."
To express the underlying philosophy of the Foundation, the Board of Directors drafted a series of "core values" statements. These values guide persons who do the work of the foundation, whether as volunteers or paid staff, as they interact with donors, grantees and the community:
Stewardship
The Foundation will prudently manage the resources entrusted to it, maintaining confidentiality and seeking growth of resources.
Open Door
The Foundation will be available to all segments of our defined community.
Service to Donors
The Foundation offers opportunities to donors to improve the quality of life in their community by fulfilling their charitable goals.
Service to Community
The Foundation will improve the quality of life through leadership by building endowments that are directed toward meeting the needs of the community.
