The Montclair Foundation was established to support
not-for-profit organizations that meet health, educational,
cultural, social service and quality of life needs in the
greater Montclair community. It offers concerned citizens a way
to assure the continuing vitality of Montclair and serves as a
permanent conduit for charitable giving.
The Montclair Foundation Board is responsible for the governance
of the Foundation's property (the Van Vleck House and Garden)
and the management of its investment funds and its grants
program.
The Montclair Environs Fund is an ideal vehicle for those who
care about Montclair to share in a lasting legacy of
philanthropy. We welcome gifts to the Foundation -- either
directly or through trusts or bequests -- and appreciate all
those who support our tradition of giving.
Serving as the liaison between Montclair Charitable causes and
the dollars that support those causes, the Foundation ensures
that the gifts of caring, supportive donors are prudently
managed and effectively used to better the community. The
Foundation preserves and invests all dollars that are entrusted
to it. The Foundation's investment account, the Montclair
Foundation Environs Endowment Fund, continues to increase as a
result of gifts, bequests, and investment growth. After careful
study, income from the Foundation's investments is distributed
semiannually by the Foundation Board to worthy organizations
that have applied for support.
