2026 Community Impact Grant

2026 Community Impact Grant

CFMC Community Impact Grants offer financial assistance for charitable programs and projects serving Morgan County.

Our 2026 Community Impact Grant is a responsive grant program designed to be open-ended allowing for nonprofits and charitable groups to apply for funding to help meet the needs and missions of their organization to serve Morgan County. Our goal is to help fund a project/program/initiative that will propel your organization and our county forward.
