Through this authority, the Foundation supports worthwhile community projects that can make a difference and improve the Greater Hazleton community. The Foundation attracts and manages funds from a broad spectrum of donors with the desire to have their gift applied to conservation, preservation and reclamation (CPR) with the ultimate goal of making a positive difference to the present and future well-being of the Hazleton area.
