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 2009
CACF will not be awarding Partnership Endowment or Technical Assistance grants in 2009.
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. In light of the current economic climate and the ongoing volatility of the stock market, CACF’s Board of Directors has reviewed our Community Trust Grants process and is making the following changes for 2009:
Grants of up to $10,000 will be available to nonprofits providing the following essential services in Montgomery, Lowndes, or Macon counties:
- Childcare/Education – encompassing pre-K and afterschool care and services to specialized populations
- Food
- Healthcare
- Shelter
- Family Wellness – including domestic violence, child abuse, crisis intervention, etc.
In addition, a grant of up to $3,000 will be made available to area arts organizations.
Applicants shall provide a one-page letter of request (we will not be using application forms this year) outlining the monies needed, the services to be provided, and establishing what, if any, increase in demand for services has occurred since 2007 and to what this increased need can be attributed. Organizations should make every effort to ensure their requests support direct services.
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
APPLICATION DEADLINE: Monday, August 31, 2009 - 5:00 p.m.
