Southeast Alabama

Established in 1995 by community leaders, SACF serves the five-county Wiregrass region of Henry, Houston, Coffee, Dale, and Geneva counties. SACF became an affiliate of CACF in 2010.

Through its multiple funds, SACF addresses a wide variety of concerns, supporting projects and programs in education, health, human services, cultural arts, recreation, historic preservation, and other civic concerns.

SACF’s Advisory Board of area citizens oversees an annual grantmaking program that determines the best investment of these community dollars.
