Community Investment

Community Investment Funds are the most powerful philanthropic tool the Community Foundation has. Established by donors who understand the complexity of ever-changing community needs, these funds allow the Foundation’s volunteers and staff the flexibility to make grants across a wide variety of programs and projects.

Instead of being restricted to one area of interest, such as youth, these funds can support any program, project or organization that will help us improve the quality of life for the residents of St. Clair County.

To see the types of programs or project the Foundation might support with these funds, visit our Priority Areas page.
