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 Central Montcalm Community Foundation allocates the annual earnings from each permanent endowed fund to support the specific intent associated with these funds, without using the principal, which continues to grow indefinitely. The funding sources include fund-raising events and contributions designated for specific purposes. Among the initiatives is the Youth and Senior Endowment, established in 2010, focusing on providing funding for health, wellness, and enrichment programs within the community.
