Friends of Coleman County Foundation

Friends of the Coleman County Foundation

Friends of the Coleman County Foundation are Coleman County leaders who translate their concern for the future of Coleman County into action by their investment of time, energy and funds into programs and projects that enhance the quality of life we enjoy.

They do this by their support of the Coleman County Foundation, the County's charitable vehicle that is a conduit for individual and family philanthropy.

The only way to feel a part of, and give back to, your community is by being involved. Friends of the Coleman County Foundation will provide lots of outlets for both. I imagine the grant committee work will be fun and rewarding.

About the Coleman County Foundation

     The Coleman County Foundation was established in 1999 as a vehicle for Coleman County Philanthropy. Current assets of the Foundation are $1.7 million and the earnings from these assets are used for grants across the County - educational, civic, social welfare and any cause that improves the quality of life of the residents of Coleman County.
     The Coleman County Foundation is a very useful vehicle for personal giving. As you make plans for the distribution of your estate at your death, you now can set aside funds to be given to Coleman County, in any way you desire.
     You may also decide to use the Foundation while you are living to make memorial gifts, gifts to honor your family or other special folks, or to set aside funds for later charitable giving, while receiving an immediate tax deduction.
     Policies and decisions for the endowment are made by a Board of seven Coleman County residents, while the administration is handled by an arrangement with the Community Foundation of Abilene, a permanent endowment of $71 million, with endowment funds designated for diverse purposes across the region.

Education, civic improvement, assistance to the needy, arts and cultural events and youth activities are all eligible for funds from the Friends' grant awards.

Opportunities for leadership - we can do more together than individually. The Friends group gives us a greater voice and an effective tool for promoting positive change throughout our county. It's surprising what transformation can emerge from a group of energized people working together!

Opportunities for friendships - building relationships across our County is an important part of strengthening our communities. Long time citizens of Coleman County have much to offer and our new residents do as well. Combined, there is no limit to what can be accomplished!

Half of all the things that come up on the grant committee, you would never even know they existed in Coleman County. It gives you a better awareness of your community and its needs and how you can fulfill some of those.
