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.

The Power of an Endowment
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. The principal is invested, and the earnings are used to support a designated cause, ensuring a perpetual source of funding. This enduring power allows endowments to fuel innovation, advance knowledge, and uplift Hillsboro far beyond the initial investment.

Retaining even a small fraction of this wealth through a local community foundation offers a powerful opportunity to benefit the community for generations.
