South County Fund
About the Fund
The South County Fund reflects CFAAC's dedication to the people and places of South County. It exists to meet the community where it is, supporting both trusted organizations and new ideas that can make a lasting difference.
In 2026, the fund became an endowed CFAAC Field of Interest Fund. From 2022 to 2025, CFAAC made grants to South County totaling $430,000 through other field of interest funds, and this new endowment builds on that foundation. By endowing the fund, CFAAC formalized a competitive grantmaking process, opening funding to address the needs identified through CFAAC's community needs assessment.
More information on the application process will be announced soon. Follow CFAAC on social media or subscribe to the newsletter below for updates.
