Roger & Dot Smith Legacy Fund

Roger and Dot Smith were longtime champions of the Columbia Valley and generous supporters of the causes that help communities thrive. As a founding board member and long-time executive committee member, Roger played a central role in shaping the Foundation’s early vision and growth. Together, Roger and Dot quietly supported community well-being through numerous anonymous gifts, reflecting their shared belief in giving back without seeking recognition. Known for their generosity, humility, and commitment to others, both extended their support far beyond the Foundation through decades of volunteerism, community leadership, and local service. Their contributions have left a lasting mark on the Columbia Valley and continue to inspire a culture of philanthropy and care.

The gift from Roger and Dot Smith is especially meaningful because the Community Fund can support a wide range of projects, giving the Foundation flexibility to respond to the community’s most pressing needs as they arise.
