Giving is not about money or assets. Those are—like time and talent—valuable resources. Giving is about who you are. It’s about the values you champion, the impact you want to achieve in the present, and the vision you have for the future. “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Mahatma Gandhi’s powerful message carries deep implications for personal growth, societal transformation, and global progress. That starts with you.

You are a change-maker. A force for good. What difference do you want to make in the world? What issues are important to you? Are there groups of people you want to help? Injustices you’d like to redress? Do you want to provide relief to those in immediate need or work toward systemic change? Do you want to make an annual gift to a cause you’re passionate about or create a strategic charitable plan implemented over time? Do you want to see your resources in action during your lifetime? Or do you want to create a legacy that lives on after you’re gone—or both?

You don’t need millions to make a meaningful impact. Every day, ordinary people create and build extraordinary legacies. The Cape Cod Foundation can help you create yours.

By partnering with the Foundation, you become part of the region’s largest philanthropic network, funder collaborative, and agent for change.

We will also share up-to-date knowledge about challenges, initiatives, programs, and resources throughout the community and nonprofit sector to inform and increase the impact of your philanthropic plan.

Let’s get the conversation started. There are endless options and opportunities for you to create a very personal and meaningful charitable plan that will create positive change in the world through your partnership with us. You will also become part of a greater force, many people working together to increase our individual and collective impact in the community. For good.
