Hudson Community Foundation is a proud to be accredited by the National Standards for U.S. Community Foundations.  This means that we have met the nation’s highest philanthropic standards for operational quality, integrity and accountability.  The program requires community foundations to document their policies for donor services, investments, grantmaking and administration.  Less than 60 percent of foundations comply.

 

Our Development Philosophy is:

  1. We welcome charitable contributions of any size to our established funds and a minimum for $10,000 for a donor advised fund.
  2. We strive for the highest standards of careful stewardship and integrity in respecting the donor’s philanthropic intent.
  3. We ensure that a gift today fulfills a need for the future.
  4. We encourage gifts that support creative responses to community needs, and work closely with donors to bring such gifts to life.
