Favorite thing about the PACF: "My favorite thing about the PACF is how we are able to help make a difference in our community through grants, scholarships and programming (Civic Leaders Fellowships, grant writing training etc.) The PACF offers a way for individuals to continue to make a difference in our community now and after their death by becoming a Legacy Society member and/or establishing a scholarship, Donor Advised fund, Donor Designated Fund or Field of Interest Fund."
