Maybe you’ve even given a donation to the Foundation and not really understood the power of those funds? It’s powerful! We’ll tell you how! Established in 1990, the Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County (or CFMBC) is a nonprofit, community corporation created by and for local citizens. The CFBMC creates positive impact, helps people achieve their charitable goals and collaborates with other organizations in order to improve the quality of life in Monroe County.
