Become a Community Sponsor

Every year, Rochester Area Community Foundation asks people like you who care deeply about this region to support our annual Community Sponsors Campaign. Together we can leverage our resources to build a community in which we can all take pride and create positive, enduring community change.

Make a Gift Today

As a contributor, you provide essential support for the Foundation’s work focusing on issues of equity and vitality in our eight-county region, which includes Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, Seneca, Wayne, and Yates counties. You can be sure that your donation is an investment in greater Rochester.

Any gift is greatly appreciated, but you may also choose from the following levels:

Investors: $5,000 or more to the current annual campaign;
Benefactors: $1,000 to $4,999
Patrons: $500 to $999; or
Sponsors: $250 to $499

The Community Foundation is also here to help if you wish to contribute beyond our annual campaign in order to:

Provide for our community’s future
Leave money to charity through your will
Increase your income today and leave a gift for charity tomorrow
Support your favorite nonprofit forever
Make one gift that will support many charities
Turn retirement assets into giving opportunities

If you have questions about these opportunities or anything else related to charitable giving, email Kate Kidera, senior philanthropic services officer, or call her at 585.341.4337.
