Investing For Long-Term Success

Moving back to Birmingham to raise their family was always Brooke and Daniel Coleman’s plan. Living in other cities had given them the opportunity to see how strategic investments had transformed those communities, and they wanted to apply that knowledge to their home. That’s why they chose the Community Foundation to steward their investment in Birmingham.

Education has always been a cause close to their hearts, and they know that investing in education is a key to the long-term growth and success of the community. Their commitment to strategic investments in the community goes beyond their philanthropy. Daniel serves as the president of Birmingham Southern College and Brooke is a community leader, working with organizations that are addressing the challenges facing our region. “We know how critical education is for workforce development and growing new leaders for our region,” says Brooke.

Working with the Community Foundation enables Brooke and Daniel to support their passion for education now and leave a legacy gift that will invest in their hometown for generations to come. They trust the Foundation’s ability to convene people across the community to address challenges. Daniel says, “The Foundation is adept at identifying and driving innovative, long-term solutions. Because we trust the Community Foundation’s enduring vision for Birmingham’s future, we know that our legacy gift will continue to take on these challenges even after we are gone.” Their hope is clear: with investments like theirs, Birmingham can thrive and prosper now and for future generation.
