ABOUT
A Community Centered Around Care.
2Wanda Community Foundation™ builds community around Beloveds and the people who care for them by connecting people, resources, relationships, opportunities, and charitable support that strengthen access, belonging, and quality of life.
WHY WE EXIST
Our Mission
2Wanda Community Foundation™ builds community around Beloveds and the people who care for them by connecting people, resources, relationships, opportunities, and charitable support that strengthen access, belonging, and quality of life.
You do not have to know where to start. Start with a conversation.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Community Should Make Care Easier to Navigate, Not Harder
Care does not happen in isolation. Beloveds are surrounded by families, caretakers, professionals, organizations, systems, resources, supporters, and community relationships.
The Foundation exists to help strengthen those connections so people have more places to turn, more information to work with, and more ways to participate in community.
HOW WE WORK
Connection First.
The Foundation begins with relationship and orientation. People may come looking for support, bringing a resource, developing a charitable idea, exploring partnership, seeking an opportunity, or looking for a way to give.
We help bring the appropriate pathways into view and connect people to the next responsible step.
Foundation-wide approach: Learn → Connect → Conversation → Appropriate Next Step
OUR ROLE
We Connect. We Strengthen. We Support.
2Wanda Community Foundation™ does not try to become every provider, program, professional, or system.
Instead, the Foundation helps people find and connect with resources, relationships, organizations, programs, charitable support, community opportunities, and other appropriate pathways.
The Foundation also strengthens community-led work through programs such as the Resource & Referral Hub, Lifeline™, Grants & Scholarships, Community, partnerships, philanthropy, sponsorship, and other approved charitable activity.
RELATIONSHIP TO 2WANDA BRANDS™
Separate Organizations. Shared Commitment to Care.
2Wanda Community Foundation™ is a separate nonprofit organization with its own Board, governance, finances, records, policies, charitable decisions, and accountability.
2Wanda Brands™ is separate and may support the Foundation as a donor and Founding Sponsor.
Direct Behavioral Care services delivered through 2Wanda Brands™ are separate from the Foundation's charitable, community, resource and referral, philanthropic, grantmaking, sponsorship, and communitysupport functions

You Do Not Have to Know Where to Start.
