A BIG IDEA

Frederick H. Goff, a brilliant Cleveland businessman, hatched the idea of a "community trust.” His vision was to pool the charitable resources of Cleveland's philanthropists into a single endowment for the betterment of the city. The interest would forever be distributed to improve lives

1980

FROM AN IDEA TO AN INSPIRATION

Business leaders, United Way and the Junior League of Albuquerque

incorporate the Albuquerque Community Foundation: The objectives of ACF are to coordinate the receipt and investment of charitable contributions, to distribute funds for community needs in a timely and well researched manner and serve as a leader and educational resource in encouraging philanthropy

Board Chair Ray Zimmer

1984

“Community Foundations have been called the wave of the future, but they really are the wave of the present. Had we established a foundation for our community’s future 50 years ago, would we have foreseen the needs of the present: teenage alcohol and drug abuse treatment or teenage pregnancy programs, immigration, domestic violence shelters, the homeless. Can we predict the grant recipients which will be reported in the ACF’s annual report in 2033? No one knows for certain, but we now have a mechanism for not only peering into the future but preparing for it.”

Those words – written nearly 30 years ago – represented the vision ACF had for itself and for its community as a whole. It is a vision of legacy under which the foundation continues to operate: to help people who wish to do good do better, regardless of the environments and challenges of the time
