Per the organization’s website, the FCC is a “community foundation is a tax-exempt public charity built by generous people just like you. We enable people of all income levels to participate in organized philanthropy by either establishing a permanent endowment fund or by making a gift of any size to an existing fund.”

You may also choose to donate to the Foundation itself through its Community Impact Fund.
The Fairfield County Foundation holds over 130 scholarship funds for the benefit of area students.
