Grant Awards, News
Congratulations to our Spring 2025 Grantees!
The CFMC Board of Directors is pleased to announce that $220,087 was awarded to 52 nonprofits through our spring grants cycle.
We are honored to support remarkable nonprofits helping our friends and neighbors access services many of us take for granted, such as food, shelter, and other essentials, as well as enrichment programs for individuals of all ages.
CFMC is grateful to the many generous donors who have established Funds specifically for grant making. We are thankful to our funding partners, too. Together, we are able to support the boots on the ground in our community and ‘Help Good People Do Great Things’ – the reason we do what we do as a community foundation.
Below is a full list of the spring grantees. Please join our Board and staff with A Round of Applause for all of them!
