--- ## Description The Endowment Matching Grant, offered by the Coastal Bend Community Foundation (CBCF), was designed to help local nonprofits in the Coastal Bend region achieve long-term financial sustainability. The program provided a $25,000 matching contribution to each selected organization for gifts made to new or existing permanent endowment funds held at CBCF. The initiative aimed to reinforce the financial foundation of community organizations, ensuring their capacity to serve the region for generations. The most recent cycle (2025) awarded a total of $350,000 in matching funds to 14 nonprofits, with all funds claimed within weeks of the program's launch.
