Description
The Community Foundation of Abilene manages two regional endowment funds supporting charitable work in Coleman County: the Coleman County Foundation (CCF) and Friends of Coleman County Foundation. CCF was established in 1999 as a vehicle for local philanthropy. Friends of CCF began in 2005 and pools membership dues into an endowment that makes grants benefiting the community. Together, the funds offer two annual application opportunities for organizations addressing immediate local needs.
Funding priorities include arts and culture, community development, education, health and mental health, housing and shelter, human and social services, and youth development. Applications ask organizations to explain the needs they address, their intended use of funding, the populations served, and community collaborations or additional funding partners.
