Promoting Philanthropy & Simplifying the Process of Giving
Community Crisis Fund
The Foundation’s Community Crisis Fund was established in 2020 to support community needs during the COVID pandemic. Organizations in Colonial Beach were asked what the greatest needs were and the overwhelming answer was food insecurity.​
Initially the Community Crisis Fund purchased grocery store gift cards that were distributed to food pantries, including St. Mary’s Episcopal, Guadalupe Clinic, Little Zion Baptist Church, and the Colonial Beach Baptist Church. The gift cards were given to patrons of the food pantries so they could purchase perishable items not available at the pantries.
​
Since 2023, the fund now supports the food pantries through grants awarded during the fall and spring grant cycles.
Financial support for the Community Crisis Fund comes through sales of the LOVE Golf Cart and Town Pier ornaments, the 2024 Building Community Raffle net proceeds, and generous donations.

NOTE: We use Givebutter, a fundraising platform which offers a suite of tools that includes payment processing. In the widget below you will have the option to cover the standard credit card processing fee so CBF will receive 100% of the donation. You can also give a small tip to Givebutter to keep all the other suite of tools free for us to utilize.
This is not a requirement to donate to CBF.
