Grants for Organizations

Find and Manage Grants

The Madison County Community Foundation has been providing funding to our community since 1992. The funds originate from donor advised funds, agency endowments, scholarships and other types of restricted funds. In addition, grants to community organizations are also supported through competitive grants awarded from unrestricted funds in the Foundation.

We create our primary impact through our grantmaking. MCCF currently manages over 200 charitable funds created by individuals, families, businesses and organizations for charitable purposes. Income from these funds annually provides grants to organizations and projects and programs to improve the quality of life within our community. MCCF provides meaningful, long-term and permanent ways for people to give back to their community and to causes and organizations that matter to them.

Impact Madison Grants

*2025 Grant Opportunities will be announced at the Nonprofit Summit on January 30, 2025

The Impact Madison Fund is a permanent fund that helps MCCF meet emerging local needs through strategic grantmaking to our nonprofit partners. Grants from this fund reflect Madison County's unique people, issues, and ideas. The Impact Madison Fund helps us support long-term solutions, respond quickly to emergencies, and meet the changing social, cultural, and educational needs our community faces.

Impact Madison Grants: Grants are made to support projects and programs of non-profit agencies located in or serving residents of Madison County in the following focus areas: Arts, Culture, and History, Health and Human Services, Education, Thriving Community (animal welfare, recreation, parks, etc.), and Women and Children.

Proposals are reviewed by a diverse committee made up of community volunteers and Board Members, which makes funding recommendations to the Foundation Board of Directors. Upon approval by the Board of Directors, funds are awarded.
