Sunbury

Formed in 2005 out of the sale of the Sunbury Hospital, Community Giving Foundation: Sunbury is helping to meet a multitude of charitable needs in the greater Sunbury area through the superior stewardship of enduring charitable gifts. It affiliated with the Community Giving Foundation in 2006 for investment, development, and back office support.

Seeing the community grow and thrive has always been important to Cory and his family. When Cory was invited to join the Sunbury Board in 2014, he directly saw the positive impact of charitable grants on a wide range of organizations in the community. After many years of partnership with the Foundation, the family made the decision to establish the Fasold Family Donor Advised Fund to honor their family legacy and celebrate Cory and Diane's 39th wedding anniversary.

"Community giving is a way of thinking. We want to set an example for others to follow. It is comforting to know our fund was created so it will impact others forever. We feel that most often the biggest satisfaction in giving is realized by the giver!" (Cory Fasold, Fundholder)

Community Giving Foundation: Sunbury continues to support organizations and projects focused on children's health, oral health, coronary care, and issues regarding the working poor, in addition to a multitude of other community programs throughout the Sunbury area.

The Sunbury Area Health Foundation was formed in 2005 out of the sale of the Sunbury Hospital. With more than $3 million in assets, the goal of the Foundation was to improve healthcare in the Sunbury region. The Foundation affiliated with the Central Susquehanna Community Foundation (now Community Giving Foundation) in 2005 for investment, development, and back-office support. The next year, Sunbury awarded its first grant to A Community Clinic, a nonprofit medical clinic in Sunbury.

After affiliating in 2006, Sunbury continued to provide for healthcare needs, while also expanding its mission to meet other charitable needs in the greater Sunbury area. The group officially changed its name in 2010 to recognize its broader mission. Today, Community Giving Foundation: Sunbury continues to assist and encourage donors of all levels to achieve their diverse philanthropic interests.

Sunbury's geographic service area includes residents of the Shikellamy, Line Mountain, and Selinsgrove School Districts.

There is a place for you here! Through the collective work of neighbors, families, businesses, and nonprofits, the Community Giving Foundation: Sunbury will continue to leave a greater impact in your community for years to come.
