The Edwardsville Community Foundation (ECF) aims to enrich the quality of life in the communities it serves, including Edwardsville, Glen Carbon, Hamel, Moro, Dorsey, Worden, and surrounding areas. As a charitable organization, ECF facilitates the generosity of donors to make a substantial impact through community support.
ECF's Community Impact Challenge grants support not-for-profit organizations working on projects that have a substantial and broad impact on the community. The grants, which can be up to $5,000, are available throughout the year as funding allows. These grants aim to enhance the quality of life for residents of ECUSD #7 by supporting projects that are not adequately funded by existing resources, foster cooperation between tax-exempt community organizations, and provide wide-reaching benefits.
