Community foundations in Alabama

3 community foundations serve Alabama nonprofits in this list. Each link goes to the foundation's own page for grant seekers.

A community foundation is a public charity that makes grants in one area, usually a city, a few counties or a state. For a local nonprofit it is often the most realistic private funder: it funds organizations of your size, in your place, and its staff will usually talk to you before you apply.
