From the President

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

On behalf of the Eastmont Community Foundation Board of Directors, I want to say thank you for your continued support of our efforts and programs. We are fortunate to have great individuals in our community who support ECF’s mission of enhancing the quality of life in eastern Montgomery County (Virginia) and connecting others in the community. Whether it’s dedicating time to help others, donating funds to ECF or making strategic investments to drive positive change, every bit counts.

ECF was founded in 1982 by Dr. George R. “Bob” Smith Jr. as a scholarship program for the former Meadowbrook Nursing Home in Shawsville, Virginia. The foundation has grown to include scholarships, grants and several ongoing initiatives (Waldron Fitness Center, Meadowbrook Center, Old Town Fields and Eastmont Thrift Store) in the eastern Montgomery community. A lasting legacy for Dr. Smith’s vision and hard work that is up to all of us to carry on.

Eastmont Community Foundation serves eastern Montgomery County, Virginia, so your funds and investments stay local in the community. We are a foundation for the community. Every dollar makes an impact on our programs and facilities.

Check out our website at www.eastmontcf.com and follow us on Facebook for information, event dates and other happenings around the community. ECF also supports the LINC, which is now the official newsletter of the foundation and will be utilized to send out news and happenings within the community.

As we go into 2025, the foundation looks forward to building stronger community networks, connecting others and continuing to provide valuable resources that make eastern Montgomery County a great place to live, work and connect. We hope to see you soon!

Sincerely,

Lauren M. Tate
President,
Eastmont Community Foundation
