Jefferson County Community Foundation

Community service is an investment that pays lifetime dividends. There are many ways to be involved....let us know what interests you and we will find a way to use your skills and talents.

After all, that is what building community is all about.

Bruce McComas
President

I feel that JCCF offers a wonderful opportunity for our generous and caring community. It provides a way for people to give that can span many years, even in perpetuity, and it is a great aid to existing and future nonprofit organizations.

Vice President

JCCF allows our community to sustain its good works through nonprofits in a robust and meaningful way. The foundation represents the community supporting the community in all avenues of life.

Carol McGough
Treasurer

Awareness that the nonprofit needs of our community could potentially exceed our capacity to fund them initiated my interest in JCCF. Our local nonprofit organizations all speak to the needs of our community: basic human services and environmental, social, or cultural enrichment. The concept of people helping people is one that we all value, and JCCF is the mechanism to assure the long-term viability of the programs that make this a community worth living in. It is exciting to be part of an organization that will have such a positive impact for generations to come.

Tim Caldwell
Secretary

My initial involvement with JCCF began because I was invited to join; the potential to leave a lasting legacy for my community keeps me involved. My family’s heritage, and connection to the community, provides the passion that I bring to the Foundation.

Cindy Hill Finnie
Director

Port Townsend faces enormous challenges in funding an array of social, health, art, education, and youth-related projects and services. Fortunately, our community has a deep heritage of philanthropy. I believe the Foundation can and will lead the community, donors, and nonprofits, becoming a key vehicle for change and a bridge to the future as we address these challenges in the 21st century.

David Goldsmith
Director

Having spent more than 30 years in public service, I have witnessed firsthand how necessary and effective nonprofit organizations are in addressing community and individual needs. JCCF is designed to strengthen the fabric and richness of our community by creating a sustaining endowment and a helping hand. The values of the Foundation match my personal values of service: to make a positive difference, now and for future generations.

Jane Henery
Director

Port Townsend is a wonderful community that has strongly supported the Henery family through our businesses. It is an honor to be associated with JCCF. Our work toward building a strong endowment will continue to benefit the community for future generations.

Anne D. Winegar
Director

My passion is the overall well-being of the Jefferson County community, and I am dedicated to creating opportunities for members of that community: education for youth and families alike and working to understand, identify, and bring people and organizations together to accomplish change. JCCF is the perfect venue for putting these values to work.

Herb Cook

Director

Having observed the impact of a successful community foundation in Columbus, Ohio, my wife Kathe and I are pleased to support a young, ambitious foundation in Jefferson County, our new home. JCCF’s potential is limited only by the community’s imagination and generosity.
