About Us:

The Hancock County Community Foundation is a nonprofit, public charity that promotes local philanthropy, convenes community initiatives, and supports nonprofit organizations. By focusing on philanthropy with a kind heart and strategic mind we:

• Help people give more efficiently and effectively
• Help donors extend giving beyond their lifetime
• Connect donor passions with nonprofit needs
• Strengthen local communities by encouraging charitable giving
• Provide donors with a low-cost alternative to a private foundation
• Simply put, we help people achieve their philanthropic dreams.

Since 1992, HCCF has grown to over $17 million in permanently endowed assets made up of over 200 funds. During this time, the Community Foundation has provided over $7 million in grants to help strengthen our community. Our grants and scholarships are possible because of caring citizens, of all financial means, who choose to use the Foundation as a vehicle to provide support to their favorite charitable organizations and causes.
