We asked our donor-advised fundholders why they chose to give to the COVID-19 Community Support Fund during this crisis. Here’s what the Borer Family had to say:

When one of Central New York’s long-time school teachers passed away last year, her estate named the Community Foundation the recipient of nearly $300,000 to serve our community’s greatest needs.

Bob and Toni are fundholders at the Community Foundation and Bob is a former board member. Bob is a fifth-generation Syracusan with deep roots in the philanthropic and business community.
