The Central Montcalm Community Foundation aims to enhance the quality of life in the Central Montcalm area by providing grants through funds gathered from gifts, bequests, and estates. These grants are designed with the specific purpose of supporting various agencies, institutions, and charitable organizations to ensure the long-term benefit of the Central Montcalm community. The foundation's efforts focus on the use of annual earnings from permanent endowments, with the core principle that the principal amount is preserved indefinitely, ensuring continual support for the local community.
The grant program focuses on utilizing the annual earnings from permanent endowed funds to support the specific intent of each fund, ensuring the principal amount remains untouched and grows over time. Additionally, non-endowed funds address unanticipated community needs and administrative costs, supported by fundraising events and specific contributions. Grants primarily target community projects and programs in areas such as the arts, health, environment, and recreation.
