Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. famously said, "Philanthropy is commendable, but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook the circumstances of economic injustice which make philanthropy necessary."

At The Waterfront Foundation we don't just want to support The Chautauqua Center in its mission to treat illness; we want to address the inequities that make our community sick in the first place.

Our federally qualified health center stands on the front lines, ensuring that poverty is not a barrier to quality healthcare. Your support acts as the bride, providing the resources needed care today, while we advocate for a more just tomorrow.
