The Big Spring Area Community Foundation (BSACF) aims to serve Howard County and surrounding counties by enabling those with philanthropic interests to support various agencies or issues important to them, now and through their estates. BSACF facilitates the establishment of charitable funds by individuals, families, and businesses, which then make grants to nonprofit organizations aligning with the donors' charitable objectives.
The grant program of the Big Spring Area Community Foundation focuses on supporting nonprofit organizations and governmental entities that demonstrate a benefit to residents of the Big Spring Area, including Howard County and all contiguous counties. The Foundation's broad goals encompass funding projects within art and culture, health and human services, education, environment, and sports sectors. The program is designed to directly impact the community in these key areas, reflecting the diverse interests and needs of the population it serves.
The Foundation is open to reviewing any Grant Applications submitted correctly, with a preference for those seeking funding for designated projects or the purchase of capital assets over requests aimed solely at addressing operational budget deficits.
