Overview

Albion Community Foundation

Mission

The Albion Community Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community foundation. Our mission is to strengthen the greater Albion area by cultivating community assets to enhance our quality of life. Over the years, our mission has evolved to include three central tenets: community improvement, cultural heritage, and youth development. To advance these priorities, we maintain an endowment comprised of over 60 funds that distribute grants with the purpose of serving specific needs in the community. Since our founding, we have granted over $3.7 million to charitable causes in our community, not including the $3.7 million restoration of the Historic Bohm Theatre.
