About the Foundation Board

 

In late 1995, the first bricks were laid to establish a base of long-term financial resources that would support the United Community Centers, Inc. 

Louise Carvey, the first Chair of the Foundation Board, was dedicated to establishing a permanent, perpetual source of income from gifts for endowment. The income is utilized to operate United Community Centers' three social service centers. The Foundation offers various long-term programs so that the contributions you make are carefully managed to provide funds year after year, leaving a legacy of hope for future generations. 

Since its inception, the United Community Centers Foundation has experienced steady growth, as measured by the increasing number of assets entrusted to our care. However, the measurement we value most is the increase in services made possible through planned giving and other fund raising efforts. 

The United Community Centers Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and all assets are invested for the benefit of the United Community Centers, Inc.
