Love thy neighbor(hood).
We’ve launched the Commons Foundation to mobilize people, resources, and expertise to serve our neighbors here and become true neighbors to people abroad who others pass by — and this is just the beginning of answering the question, “Who is my neighbor?”
The Commons Foundation is a 501(c)3 built on two priorities:
Hyper Local
Outreach to support our neighbors in times of need and in developing resilient enterprises.
Hyper Global
Support to strengthen under-resourced ministries and organizations working with difficult to reach populations.
Interested in donating to a Fund? 100% of your donation will go toward projects. Reach out to start the conversation: [email protected]
Community Support Request
Hyper local requests only, please
If a neighbor faces unexpected hardship, a family needs assistance during a difficult season, or a local organization identifies an opportunity to serve others in need, we want to hear about it.
Use the form below to share a need, request assistance, or nominate someone who could benefit from community support.
Requests are directed to one of two funds: the New Town Fund and the Orchard Farm School District (OFSD) Fund. OFSD is used only as a geographic reference. Requests do not need to be affiliated with OFSD.
Every submission will be reviewed with care and discretion and kept confidential. While funding is limited and assistance cannot be guaranteed, our goal is to connect available resources with meaningful needs throughout our community.
