WHAT WE DO
The Cass County Community Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with the following mission:
“The Cass County Community Foundation honors the spirit of giving and assists donors in building enduring sources of charitable assets to promote education, enhance humanity and advance community development throughout Cass County.”
Community Foundations are rapidly becoming the philanthropic method of choice for their ease, flexibility, maximum tax advantages, and knowledge of community needs. As a depository for charitable funds, a community foundation manages charitable gifts from individuals, groups, corporations and other foundations. As the steward of endowed funds, a community foundation either acts on the donor’s behalf to place funds where community needs are the greatest, or considers the donor’s recommendations for distribution. Working with a community foundation allows the donor full access to its extensive grant making resources and knowledge.
As a grant maker, a community foundation serves as a catalyst for charitable activity. By granting funds where the needs are greatest, a variety of different organizations and initiatives are greatly enhanced. The current assets of CCCF are over $12 million. As the Foundation continues to grow, we will continue to positively impact the charitable sector and the quality of life in Cass County, now and for future generations.
