Funding and Sponsorship
In 2006, Community First worked to obtain a 501C3 status. Previously funded solely by
the Hudson Community Foundation, Community First now needs to continually raise funds
to sustain administrative and program costs. The annual membership drive, fundraisers,
grant opportunities, sponsorships and donations are some of the ways Community First is funded. All donations are tax deductible. If interested in sponsorship opportunities email Laura Gasbarro or fill out the sponsorship form and mail with donation
to:

Every contribution makes a huge difference by aiding Community First’s goal to connect youth with their community.
