It helps create opportunities for the future too.
Donations entrusted to the Eastern Bay Community Foundation are invested for the long term.
Each year, the income generated is distributed to support local charities and causes, while a portion is retained to grow the fund.
This creates an ongoing source of funding for our community, helping support everything from education and wellbeing to environmental initiatives, heritage, arts and culture, and community development.
Every gift helps strengthen the Eastern Bay, now and into the future.
