Often times when significant development takes place in a community, it is the direct result of the vision of a person or a group of people -  a vision to make the community an improved place, to create something of lasting value, to invest in a legacy for others to enjoy for years to come.

It is for this reason that the Jamestown Community Foundation was created in 1983 through the Jamestown Chamber of Commerce.

Its Purpose:
To provide a convenient and efficient tax-exempt local organization for donor to fund worthy causes in Jamestown.
