Description
The Central Alabama Community Foundation’s SACF Community Trust Grants support services and programs provided by nonprofits in the Wiregrass area. The program focuses on local program and service delivery rather than research, capital development, or general organizational support. Educational and social service programs offered by faith-based organizations are eligible, but activities undertaken for religious purposes are not.
The grant’s scope excludes fundraising drives, events, marketing campaigns, and sponsorship of fundraising events. It also excludes endowments, partisan political advocacy, regular operating support, capital projects, and start-up costs. Applicants should distinguish the proposed service or program from these excluded activities when assessing whether the opportunity fits their work.
