The Jamestown Community Foundation is designated by the IRS as a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)3 of the IRS code.
The Jamestown Community Foundation is managed by a local Board of Directors, fifteen (15) in total, including four (4) executive Board members from the Jamestown Area Chamber of Commerce, and an additional two (2) member advisory council.
These local funds are endowed by a group of individual and business donors in a variety of formats. The diversification of this portfolio provides flexibility for the Foundation to distribute funds as needs change in the Jamestown community.
The Jamestown Community Foundation encourages small organizations to solicit their funds through our 501 (c) 3, rather than creating their own foundation or working toward their own 501(C)3 status. This helps the community develop a unified vision; maximizing efficiency and effectiveness through combined resources allowing these independent organizations to dedicate their resources and volunteer hours to their specific cause.
