OUR HISTORY

Board of Directors
The Directors of the Foundation are local men and women who are knowledgeable about the unique needs of Fayette County and the surrounding areas. They seek to identify problems and needs not otherwise being adequately addressed and make these known to potential donors. They serve the donors, the charitable organizations, and the community as a whole in their capacity as Director.
