Grantseekers
Grants can be the life blood of a community. They provide critical funds for food banks serving people who are currently down on their luck, for libraries and art programs that entertain and educate a city, and for social service programs offering various types of hope and help to individuals. Each year, the Central Alabama Community Foundation distributes millions of dollars of grants that touch almost every aspect of life. Funds administered by CACF support programs, organizations and institutions throughout Central Alabama and across the country.
There are two main types of grants awarded by the Central Alabama Community Foundation: donor-advised and competitive. Donor-advised grants are normally recommended by donors for specific charitable organizations. Competitive grants come from unrestricted and field-of-interest funds, and these funds support a wide variety of projects or programs that help address the needs of the community.
Areas of interest for the Foundation’s funding programs include education, social services, health, youth development, the arts, and community development.

CACF Announces Grant Instructions and Changes for 2010
CACF will not be awarding Partnership Endowment grants in 2010.
The Central Alabama Community Foundation makes grants that will improve the quality of life in the Central Alabama region. Grants are awarded annually by the Board of Directors to nonprofit agencies and programs that meet community needs and address community problems and opportunities. CACF’s Board of Directors has reviewed our Grants process and is making the following changes for 2010:
In 2010, CACF will offer two grant opportunities to nonprofits providing direct services in Montgomery, Lowndes, or Macon counties. Applications for Community Trust Grants and Technical Assistance Grants will be available on our website on July 15th.
- Organizations providing direct services in childcare, food, medical, shelter, or family wellness may submit a Community Trust Grant application for up to $10,000 (Average award is $5,000).
- Arts organizations may submit a Community Trust Grant application for up to $4,900.
- Any nonprofit in Lowndes, Macon, or Montgomery Counties may apply for one Technical Assistance Grant of up to $2,500 for assistance with Strategic Planning, Organizational/Board Infrastructure, Fund Development, or Marketing/Public Relations.
Organizations who have not received funding from CACF in the past shall provide a brochure outlining the organization’s mission, the population served, and the types of services provided. Said organizations shall also provide a copy of their IRS Letter of Determination for 501(c)3 status. Grants are not awarded to: Individuals, Fundraising Events, or Capital Campaigns.
