Big Spring Area Community Foundation Grants

Background

The Big Spring Area Community Foundation serves Howard County and surrounding Counties so people with philanthropic interests can support the agencies or issues important to them, both now and through their estates. The Community Foundation allows individuals, families and businesses to establish charitable funds which make grants to nonprofit groups that meet the donor’s charitable goals. Although BSACF is relatively young, our assets currently exceed $16 million.

Grants

The Foundation considers requests for funding from non-profit organizations and governmental entities that can demonstrate a benefit to the residents of the Big Spring Area, including all of Howard County and all contiguous counties. The Foundation’s funding objectives include groups that provide programs or services in the areas of art and culture, health and human service, education, environment and sports.
