New Location, New Logo, Same Mission
The Community Foundation of Fayette County (CFFC) is entering a new chapter of growth with the purchase of its first-ever owned headquarters at 250 West Main Street in Uniontown. This strategic move, funded through the foundation’s operating reserve, marks a significant milestone in CFFC’s evolution. It is a reflection of growth, momentum, and continued commitment to serve the county. The relocation is planned for October 23, accompanied by the launch of a refreshed CFFC logo.
David Hughes, a long-serving member of the CFFC Board of Directors, has seen the foundation’s growth over the years. “Last year, we celebrated our twenty-fifth anniversary and developed a Strategic Plan to guide our future growth and impact. Expanding our office space is a key part of that vision—and it’s also a chance to modernize our look as we continue to raise awareness about the work we do,” said Hughes.
The Strategic Plan outlines three focus areas: Growth and Impact; Awareness and Engagement; Organizations and Operations.
Until now, CFFC has operated out of leased spaces, most recently at 5 South Mt. Vernon Avenue in Uniontown. The new facility offers a substantial increase in square footage, allowing for expanded staffing and more opportunities to host events and presentations on-site.

The foundation’s mission is to build a stronger Fayette County by inspiring charitable giving, supporting nonprofits, and nurturing positive community impact. “To scale that impact and meet our goals, we need space to grow and a strong identity that reflects our mission, vision, and values,” said Ronald Gabriel, Chair of the CFFC Board of Directors.
Jessica Hajek-Bates, Chief Executive Officer of CFFC, added, “We’re excited to open the doors to the community! This new space gives us room to grow, connect, and work together with the vision of a thriving Fayette County.”
To celebrate the new office location, CFFC is partnering with the Fayette County Chamber of Commerce to hold a ribbon cutting ceremony on November 13 at 1:00 p.m.
