Today is International Day of Charity, a time to recognize the impact of local giving.

Have you ever wondered what happens after you make a donation to the Fountain Hills Community Foundation? Every dollar sets off a chain reaction of local care—from substance abuse prevention and mentoring programs for local students to transportation and programming for elderly neighbors.

In our latest feature, Giving Committee Chair Tara Lamar takes us behind the scenes to show how 11 local volunteers spend 80 to 100 hours vetting applications to ensure your gifts make the greatest possible impact right here in 85268.
