Giving Opportunities
Dear CACF Donor Advisors,

“Giving Opportunities” is one way that the CACF staff lets donors with advised funds know about local nonprofits that are seeking funding for specific projects. Each quarter, we assemble a variety of projects for your consideration. If you are interested in supporting any of the agencies described below through your donor advised fund, please contact me at 296-4473 or KOHalloran@cacfonline.org.

Best regards,
Kevin O’Halloran
Director of Donor Relations
Charlottesville Area Community Foundation
