The Community Foundation has created Facebook and Twitter pages to better communicate with you online! By posting and tweeting, we can interact with our donors, professional advisors, community members, non-profits and the media in a timely and socially relevant manner.
Twitter is a social networking site that allows you to answer the question, "What are you doing?" by sending short text messages to your friends and followers. It also allows to to "follow" the activities and messages of an organization like the Community Foundation.
Facebook is a social networking service that lets you connect with friends, co-workers, and organizations like the Community Foundation who share similar interests or who have common backgrounds.
Please note that you don't need to have an account to view our Facebook or Twitter pages. But if you'd like to "follow" us on Twitter or comment on our Facebook page, you'll need to create your own accounts. Below are easy to follow instructions to help you set up accounts in Facebook and Twitter
