Building our Community by Connecting Donors Who Care with Causes that Matter
The Hillsboro Community Foundation serves to promote and facilitate charitable giving in support of projects and programs that enhance the quality of life in Hillsboro and surrounding areas.

End of Year Giving
This year, open your heart to your neighbors. For two decades, HCF has been bringing people together to create positive change right here at home.
