Erie Community Foundation

Welcome to The Erie Community Foundation!

The Erie Community Foundation's mission is to inspire, engage, and empower donors and communities across the region, today and tomorrow. We envision a united, vibrant, and thriving region for all.

We are a trustworthy and permanent steward of the generosity of greater Erie. Through the power of collective giving, we invest in solutions that transform lives.

Rooted in a legacy of giving that began in 1935, we’re here to help you reach your philanthropic goals and shape a brighter future, together.

We’re also the team behind Erie Gives, a community-wide day of giving that raised over $11.3 million last year!

Thank you to all of our community partners that participate in Erie Gives. Together we make a difference!
