Branch County Community Foundation

What We Do

Mission: We serve our community by promoting charitable giving, building permanent endowments, and connecting community resources.

For Good. For Ever. Our endowment funds are preserved, invested, and managed to assure a steady stream of income for grants to organizations that serve our community.

We offer people of all means - no matter how great or small their personal resources - an opportunity to give back. Donors can contribute to one of over 90 funds or establish a new charitable fund at the foundation.

The Community Foundation's three roles are grant making, serving as a catalyst and convener in the community, and building a permanent community endowment. Through grant making, the Foundation confers grants in support of the community. By remaining a neutral entity with only the community's best interest in mind, the Community Foundation serves as a catalyst and convener to bring people together to discuss, plan, and implement strategies that meet the needs of the community and that take advantage of opportunities available to the community. Through endowment development, the Foundation becomes a vehicle for channeling community resources.
