About the Foundation
Creating an Impact
The Putnam County Community Foundation (PCCF) partners with those who give to enrich life and strengthen community for this and future generations. We envision a Putnam County that thrives on generosity, connection, and quality of life. Guided by our core values of integrity, leadership, community, and stewardship, we connect generous hearts with local needs to create lasting, meaningful change.
The Putnam County Community Foundation holds, invests, and administers a collection of separate funds established to meet philanthropic goals of donors and the needs of Putnam County.
The total endowment, valued at roughly $50 million in assets in 2024, is a family of more than 380 charitable funds established by donors since our inception in 1985. It is a vehicle through which contributions of all sizes can be built over time into a substantial pool of money to achieve public good for Putnam County. The investment income from this pool, an average of 8.53% annualy, is awarded in the form of grants to meet community needs and aspirations both now and in the future.
