The Compassion Foundation is a humanitarian service organization providing grants to nonprofit organizations that are working to improve the quality of the lives of people in need. By joining together as a Foundation, we are no longer just one individual, but have become a People of God who bring His compassion to a broken world.  Since our inception in 1989, we have given over $600,000 in grants to organizations that provide programs improving and enriching all aspects of the lives of those most in need.

The Compassion Foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors with one part-time employee. Over 97% of all annual funds raised are distributed each fall in grants to nonprofits locally, nationally and internationally.

Funding for Compassion Foundation grants comes and from two annual fundraisers —

our Golf Classic during the summer and our Community Champions Recognition Dinner  which will honors outstanding volunteers in our service area.  Recognizing our role as world caretakers, we were also pleased to be able to help missions in Haiti, Papua New Guinea, and South Africa . . . and what’s more, we give our grants based on need, not creed.  We are asking you to consider a gift this year to the Compassion Foundation during the holiday season. With your help, we will be able to assist individuals and organizations who are serving those people most in need. In this particularly difficult economic climate, your assistance is vital to ensuring that we may continue our mission.

Sincerely,
Tim Brennan, president and the
COMPASSION FOUNDATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS
