Danville Area Community Foundation

The Community Foundation is seeking nominations for its annual Outstanding Alumni Awards.  Visit our awards page for information on how you can nominate someone for this award.

 

The creation of the Danville Area Community Foundation was officially celebrated on December 12, 1999 at the Pine Barn Inn in Danville.

Dr. George W. Leighow, initial chairman of the Danville Area Community Foundation Board of Directors, commented that: "As a member of the former Commonwealth Bank Board of Directors in Williamsport, I had a chance to observe how the Williamsport-Lycoming Foundation was run. I talked to Henry Hood, who was chief executive officer at Geisinger at the time, and to other community leaders in Danville and we all agreed that a foundation would be a great thing for our community."

It made sense to Leighow and others to affiliate with an established community foundation, one that could help with administrative and management tasks while the new foundation board concentrated on fundraising.

Since its inception, the Danville Area Community Foundation's assets have grown to nearly $2.3 million within 34 separate funds. Additionally, more than $2 million in planned gifts has been committed to the Foundation.

 

The Danville Area Community Foundation has provided nearly $300,000 in grant funding to charitable organizations in Montour County since 1999.
