Changes to CACF Grants

Given the current economic downtown, CACF’s Board of Directors has decided to focus its 2009 Community Trust Grants on organizations offering essential services, i.e. food, shelter, childcare, domestic violence prevention, etc. In late June, the Foundation will contact agencies who are providing these types of services and offer informational sessions on this year’s application process. Organizations that provide these essential services in Montgomery, Macon and Lowndes Counties should contact the Foundation by July 1 via email at cacfgrants@bellsouth.net and provide current contact information.

Welcome!

The Central Alabama Community Foundation is a nonprofit philanthropic foundation created by and for the people of central Alabama. Individuals and corporate donors make gifts and bequests of any size for the betterment of our community. Though our grants program, the Foundation addresses a wide variety of needs and opportunities, supporting programs and projects in education, human services, health, cultural arts, and other civic concerns.

From the Chairman

As our country faces unprecedented economic challenges, many individuals and organizations in our community are facing new financial difficulties. The demand for services from the agencies and programs that provide assistance is on the rise as both public and private support for those programs and agencies decline.

During these difficult times, we are most thankful for the many generous donors whose contributions built the Central Alabama Community Foundation. The grants distributed in November demonstrate the wisdom of setting aside funds during the “good times” and using them to help provide support during the “bad times.” Although our investments have declined in value along with the broader market, your community foundation will continue to assist the many wonderful agencies that provide help to our friends and neighbors. We - and they - very much appreciate the continued support we have received from our donors and volunteers.
