Established in 2007 by community leaders, EACF serves the four-county Plains region of Chambers, Lee, Russell, and Tallapoosa counties. EACF became an affiliate of the CACF in 2024.
Through its multiple funds, EACF addresses a wide variety of concerns, supporting projects and programs in education, health, human services, cultural arts, recreation, historic preservation, and other civic concerns.
EACF’s Advisory Board of area citizens oversees an annual grantmaking program that determines the best investment of these community dollars.
