Grant Making

The purpose of The Community Foundation is to develop a permanent
charitable trust fund for Decatur and Macon County. Donations are invested and distributions from the investment earnings are made annually. Donor recommended distributions in 2005 totaled $302,232. Over $1,000,000 has been distributed from donor advised and designated funds through The Foundation since 2000.

The Foundation publishes purposes and timetables for grant making when funds are available for discretionary grants. During the announced application periods proposals are accepted in accordance with The Foundation's Grant Guidelines.

Plans call for a request for proposals in the areas of childcare, workforce development, and land use and preservation in the fall of 2006.
