Central Alabama Community Foundation

**About the Foundation** For more than 35 years, the Central Alabama Community Foundation (CACF) has been a trusted partner in strengthening communities across the River Region, the Wiregrass, and East Alabama. Established in 1987 by civic leaders with a vision to create a permanent charitable foundation, CACF now manages more than $100 million in charitable assets and has distributed over $75 million to organizations serving local needs. Through the generosity of individual and corporate donors, CACF awards over $6 million each year in grants and scholarships that address critical community priorities. With more than 230 charitable funds, the Foundation supports initiatives in education, health, human services, cultural arts, recreation, historic preservation, and other civic concerns—all designed to create a better quality of life for those who live and work in Central Alabama. CACF’s reach extends across Autauga, Chambers, Coffee, Dale, Elmore, Geneva, Henry, Houston, Lee, Lowndes, Macon, Montgomery, Russell, and Tallapoosa counties. To further serve local communities, CACF is joined by affiliate foundations that expand and deepen our impact: - Southeast Alabama Community Foundation (SACF) – Established in 1995 to serve Coffee, Dale, Geneva, Henry, and Houston counties; became a CACF affiliate in 2010. - East Alabama Community Foundation (EACF) – Founded in 2007 to serve Lee, Chambers, Russell, and Tallapoosa counties; became a CACF affiliate in 2024. Together with these affiliates, CACF connects generosity with opportunity, and helps donors invest in their passions, strengthen nonprofits, and make a lasting difference for generations to come.
