Jane and Stewart Capell

Jane and Stewart Capell want to help someone live their dream. "We want to help someone pursue their passion - whether that passion is an environmental concern, fulfilling a void of humanity, or seeking knowledge and education. The focus is broad. We want to help someone achieve their greater purpose, whatever that may be," Jane explains.

To accomplish their goal, the Capells make monthly donations to the "Dream Weaver Fund" which they established in 2001 at Hamilton Community Foundation. Jane is a financial planner and understands both the need for giving and the advantages of giving through the community foundation. "We all need to simplify our lives and the Foundation helps us do just that. I appreciate the monthly donations taken directly from my account and the single contribution receipt at tax time. You can have confidence that your gift is directed to your area of concern in the community and is having a positive impact. It's a rewarding feeling. I challenge others to experience it."
