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.

Cindy Hill Finnie Vice Present 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 Member, GTCF Investment Committee 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. |

Herb Cook Treasurer Chair, Investment Committee 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. |
Karen Nichols Director JCCF is a way to create a true legacy of giving in our community. Creating synergy with nonprofits through education and financial support, establishing new funds to meet our community’s needs and funding a community endowment creates a sustainable vehicle of support for our community now and into the future. I am grateful to be part of such an effective and vital organization. |

Carol McGough Awareness that the nonprofit needs of our community could potentially exceed the capacity to fund them initiated my interest in JCCF. Our local nonprofit organizations all speak to the needs of community: human services, and environmental, social, 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 in which we are proud to call home. |

Tim Caldwell Director 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 Community Foundation. |
Debbi Steele Director Having been involved in a California community foundation prior to moving here, I am impressed and inspired by all they do for a community. I am excited to be involved with such an important group that is so focused on improving the community/county through our nonprofits. I look forward to increasing the community's awareness of JCCF. The more people know of our mission, the better off we will be as a community. |
