Central Alabama Community Foundation

Central Alabama Community Foundation (CACF) is a valued resource for nonprofits in the River Region. Individuals and corporate donors make gifts and bequests of any size for the betterment of our community. CACF was established in 1987 by a group of local civic leaders. Their vision was to create a permanent charitable foundation to support the work of nonprofits in the Montgomery area. In 1996, affiliates were started in Autauga and Elmore counties-the Autauga Area Community Foundation (AACF) and Elmore County Community Foundation (ECCF). Southeast Alabama Community Foundation (SACF) became an affiliate in 2010 serving Coffee, Dale, Geneva, Henry, and Houston counties. CACF also serves Lowndes and Macon counties. East Alabama Community Foundation (EACF) became an affiliate in 2024, serving Chambers, Lee, Russell, and Tallapoosa counties. CACF has grown to hold over $100 million in charitable assets. Through its multiple funds, CACF addresses a wide variety of projects and programs in education, health, human services, cultural arts, recreation, historic preservation and other civic concerns. Each year, the Foundation distributes millions through hundreds of grants and scholarships.
