Montgomery County Foundation Inc.

Montgomery County Foundation Inc. The Montgomery County Foundation was originally created in 1960 as the Central Montgomery County Foundation. Taxis, Jr.

Our Mission

To develop, receive, administer and manage, under community control, funds received from public and private sources and distribute them for charitable purposes, primarily to meet local needs. A group of forward thinking civic leaders, led by Judge Alfred L. of Norristown, who at the time was President Judge of the Orphans' Court of Montgomery County, M. Paul Smith of the law firm of S

mith, Aker, Grossman & Hollinger, LLP, Eric Sander of the Central Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce, Robert McCracken, Publisher of the Times Herald along with representatives from numerous community organizations, created the original foundation to provide additional income to the non-profit sector. The Foundation was originally structured as a Community Trust and for the first twenty-five years, volunteers provided oversight and management. In 1985, following the receipt of a major bequest, the Foundation's first paid Administrator, John C. Webber, was hired and the name of the Foundation was changed to the Montgomery County Foundation. In 1999, during a strategic planning process, a fund development vision was formed for the Foundation and one of the first steps in response to this was the incorporation of the Foundation. As a result, the Montgomery County Foundation is structured both as a Community Trust and a Corporation. This gives greater flexibility to our work with donors in pursuit of their philanthropic vision.

It was an honor to spend time with Dr. Thurman Booker, a dedicated Foundation board member and someone whose life’s work speaks volumes. As a retired physician, he spent his career caring for those navigating substance use challenges, meeting people where they were with compassion and respect.
His legacy continues through a donor-advised fund created in honor of his daughter, providing a meaningful tribute that will support others for years to come.
If you’ve ever thought about the impact you want to leave, we would love to talk with you. Check out our website, www.mcfoundationinc.org to learn more about creating your legacy.

We’re proud to support the Library through the A.K. Field Donor Advised Fund. It was so great to spend time with Kirk Field, the founder of the fund and a member of our Foundation’s Board. His generosity continues to make a real impact across our community.

It was so nice to catch up with Tanya Bamford, Board President, and hear all that is happening at the Library.
