Southeast Alabama

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

Through its 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. Each year, the Foundation distributes thousands in community trust grants and scholarships.

Every year, SACF awards grants to nonprofit projects and programs providing services in Coffee, Dale, Geneva, Henry, and Houston counties. In 2025, SACF awarded $49,000 in grants to local non-profits.
