The Community Dreams Project is a partnership between the Pottstown Regional Community Foundation (PRCF), local nonprofits, and donors who want to make a meaningful difference. It serves as a bridge that connects donor interests with projects, programs, and long term ideas that can strengthen the community.
When PRCF transitioned from a private foundation to a public community foundation on July 1, 2023, we expanded our work to include donor advised giving and long term community investment. Donors often ask where their contributions can have the greatest impact. Nonprofits often have powerful ideas that could grow with additional resources. The Community Dreams Project brings these two needs together.
PRCF exists to connect charitable intentions with the community’s most impactful needs. By uplifting local ideas and inviting donor partnership, the Community Dreams Project strengthens the entire nonprofit ecosystem and supports long term regional wellbeing.
Together we turn community dreams into community impact.
Nonprofits and local units of government are invited to submit up to three projects that would benefit from donor support. These can include:
All submissions are welcomed throughout the year and will be added to the Community Dreams list as they are received.
While PRCF cannot guarantee funding, the Community Dreams Project helps shine a light on your mission and inspires donors who want to contribute to meaningful local work.
If you want to make a difference but are unsure where to start, the Community Dreams list provides a curated set of projects submitted by trusted nonprofits in the greater Pottstown region.
You can support projects through:
PRCF works with you to identify the projects that connect most closely with your values and the outcomes you want to support.
PRCF is building a dedicated fund to sustain the Dreams Project for years to come. Contributions of any size are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law and directly support program costs.
