The Pella Community Foundation gave a record dollar amount of grants to local non-profit projects again in 2021. President of the Pella Community Foundation Jim Brandl says it was especially important this year to support those organizations, because of what they struggled with after the cancellation of Tulip Time and the increased demand for their services during COVID-19. Brandl says a donation to the Pella Community Foundation is a way to support multiple projects at once.
