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

Transfer of Wealth in Marion County
Marion County anticipates a major generational wealth transfer, mirroring a statewide trend involving hundreds of billions over the coming decades. Retaining even a small fraction of this wealth through a local community foundation offers a powerful opportunity to benefit the community for generations.

An endowment is a gift that keeps on giving. It’s like planting a seed that grows into a mighty tree, providing for generations to come.

This enduring power allows endowments to fuel innovation, advance knowledge, and uplift Hillsboro far beyond the initial investment.
