Embrace Our Place
Learn More
Our Community Foundation’s Embrace Our Place strategy fosters collaboration, idea sharing, and inspired planning to elevate daily life. We envision a future in which Quality of Life design principles and practices make our county’s environment clean, safe, attractive, walkable, and vibrant for people of all ages and backgrounds. We invite you, as a member of the public, to become active in community leadership and volunteerism. We also encourage and equip public officials, nonprofit directors, and business leaders to hone their skills, knowledge, and networks; listen to their constituents; and make sound decisions about civic matters.
