About the North Baldwin Community Foundation


By working with The Community Foundation of South Alabama, an affiliate can focus on raising funds and deciding charitable use for the income of the community fund while relying on the parent Foundation to handle the administration, investment and required daily tasks. Through a concerted grant-making effort, the effects of a community fund can be felt for generations to come. An advisory committee of North Baldwin County residents makes recommendations about how the charitable dollars are spent, and The Community Foundation of South Alabama bears the legal responsibility to ensure that the funds are then used in compliance with donor intent.
The North Baldwin Community Foundation was founded in 2020 by a group of local citizens. As an affiliate of the Community Foundation of South Alabama, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization, we accept a wide variety of tax-deductible contributions, such as cash, appreciated stocks, real estate or other assets.
