The Jamestown Community Foundation is a local charitable organization dedicated to improving the quality of life in Jamestown via small grants to local organizations. The Jamestown COmmunity Foundation is designated by the IRS as a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)3 of the IRS code. Funds are established by donors in a variety of formats.
