This endowment fund, managed by a dedicated advisory board of local citizens, funds programming such as field trips and technology improvements, ensuring quality education for current and future generations. Additionally, it supports the Belmont Scholarship Fund, aiding graduating seniors in their pursuit of higher education.

The Community Foundation is a repository for more than 700 charitable funds worth more than $50 million. We service these funds by managing the investment, encouraging and supporting additions, overseeing the disbursement of grants and scholarships, and managing the requisite government paperwork.
