The Community Foundation of Northeast Alabama aims to assess and prioritize the needs of the community through collaboration and comprehensive quality of life indicators analysis. It oversees a number of funds designated for specific purposes, ensuring that grants awarded align with the strategic goals and guidelines of each fund.
The Foothills Community Partnership Charitable Fund (FCPCF) was established by Phelps Dodge Industries, Inc. to support non-profit organizations addressing human care issues in Calhoun County, Alabama. The grant program focuses on enhancing the sustainability of services targeting community issues such as education, community and economic development, and safety and wellness. Grant awards under $3,000.00 are disbursed in full upon signing the grant agreement, whereas awards over $3,000.00 are disbursed in two phases, requiring semi-annual reporting through an online portal to ensure accountability and effectiveness of the funded programs.
