ABOUT THE FOUNDATION
December 19, 2005
For many years, civic and human services leaders in Carroll
County shared a common vision of an umbrella organization that would facilitate
philanthropic activities within our community. In mid-1993, a steering
committee, which included James Wise, Arthur Valenzano, Calvin Seitz, Peggie
Roland, Donald Hull, George Giese, William Gering, and Audrey Cimino, began the
process of making the Community Foundation of Carroll County a reality.
Beginning with a gift of sixty thousand dollars from the
Estate of Rosa B. Null, a Hampstead, Maryland resident, the Community
Foundation has grown to 3.4 million dollars in endowments, operations funds,
scholarships and funds managed for other community organizations. As your
Community Foundation, we receive funds from individuals, businesses, and other
community organizations whose purpose is to enhance and support the quality of
life in this community. We are a tax-exempt organization under Section 501
(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. All contributions are tax deductible to
the maximum amount allowable for gifts to a public charity. This allows many
individuals, through gifts and bequests, to establish permanent endowment funds
within the confines of one large foundation or to develop new funding ideas for
the benefit of Carroll County.
Currently, there are more than six hundred Community
Foundations across America. What they all share is a common mission - to help
maximize the current and long-term impact of charitable activities within their
communities, while providing donors with significant financial advantages, tax
savings and recognition. It is no news to anyone that there are an overwhelming
number of organizations and programs now desperately searching for funds. For
people with a strong sense of community and personal commitment to make
significant contributions to the community in which they live, the choices can
be especially demanding. The Community Foundation of Carroll County can be the
conduit for tax-advantaged charitable gifts from individuals and corporations
in our community.
Audrey S. Cimino is the Executive Director of the Community
Foundation of Carroll County, Inc. Prior to assuming this position, she was a
Vice President and Trust Business Development Officer for Carroll County Bank
and Trust Company, now BBandT.
Audrey is a member of the Maryland State Bar Association;
her undergraduate and Law Degrees are from Essex Community College and The
University of Baltimore.
Audrey has served on the Board of Directors of a number of
professional and local charitable organizations including University of
Baltimore Board of Governors, Baltimore Estate Planning Council, Carroll County
General Hospital, The Shepherd’s Staff, Voices for Children, The Literacy
Council, The Vagabond Players, and Association of Development Officers of
Carroll County.
