Welcome
to the Bedford Community Foundation. We work closely with
non-profit organizations, donors, and their advisors to
increase philanthropy in the community. Our detailed mission
statement is simple, direct, and practical, compressed
to just three strong words, "Better Our Community".
BCF volunteer Trustees have displayed a committed unit
to achieve this common service with pride.
Throughout the past year, our Trustees,
Donors, and Friends have stepped forward to uphold the beliefs
and rights of our community population. They have helped
to prepare for a better community in the areas of art, culture,
education, social endeavors, medical research, as well as
medical aid.
Because of your generosity, your independent
foundation was able to grant over $100,000 in grants benefiting
our community. To maximize the value of your gift, the BCF
has continued its focus on the stewardship and investment.
The foundation has done an excellent job at managing its
investments and has exceeded benchmark returns.
A heart felt thanks for all of our
community support and trust!
