Established in 1985, the Putnam County Community Foundation creates opportunities for our community members to generously give of their time, talent, and treasure. We do this be connecting individuals with causes they care about, convening stakeholders to identify our most pressing needs, and collaborating to develop solutions that strengthen our community.
