Since its inception, CACF has concentrated its grant making efforts on the support of programs new to our community or on projects which have proven their worth and are expanding their services to new audiences. Our partners in these efforts are as varied as the services they provide. They include health and human service organizations, cultural arts groups, the public school system, and religious organizations. We value and applaud the work of these groups, and are proud to be financial partners in their efforts.

The Central Alabama Community Foundation supports charitable giving and grant making in Lowndes, Macon and Montgomery counties.
