2003 Report
Formation of the Partnership Foundation
Since its inception, the Partnership Board has discussed the possibility of establishing a non-profit arm with a 501(c)(3) status for fundraising purposes. In 2003, with several compelling initiatives requiring resources beyond what is available through the County or other community groups, the Partnership decided to move forward with this concept. The Partnership Foundation was formally incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia effective September 10, 2003. The organizational meeting was held on October 21, 2003. Twelve Partnership members were elected to the Board for 1 to 3 year terms. The officers are as follows:
President: Diane Smith
Vice-President: John Andelin
Secretary: Amy Graham
Treasurer: Deborah Taylor
The 501(c)(3) forms have been prepared for filing with the IRS.
The Partnership Foundation will act as a funding mechanism only for initiatives already identified through the Partnership. The Partnership Board will continue to drive the process of examining community needs and setting priorities. The hope is that having this Foundation will allow the Partnership to attract private funding for such initiatives as the community school, a teen center, and an awareness campaign to delay the use of alcohol.
