November 12-18 is National Community Foundation Week, and The Community Foundation for Crawford County wants to use this time to raise awareness of their local impact and the importance of community foundations in general. Community Foundations hold endowment funds that provide a permanent source of income for nonprofit organizations, schools and other good causes. They also hold scholarship funds which seek to alleviate college debt, as well as increase our education attainment level. Finally, they are also a grantmaking public charity dedicated to improving the quality of lives for their community. Here locally, those grants have differed greatly in purpose and include everything from helping North Central State College Foundation establish the Crawford Success Center, giving to the American Red Cross to support local blood drives, and also granting to the Crawford Partnership to support economic, community and workforce development.

The Community Foundation for Crawford County recently awarded over $197,000 in scholarships to both graduating seniors and current college students. As President Lisa Workman explained, “These results are from 36 of the 37 scholarship funds held here at the Foundation. Of the 120 individual scholarships awarded, $101,000, or roughly 51%, went to college students, and 34 of them were renewals. We are thrilled to see that college students from Crawford County still apply for our scholarships and hope that keeping their college debt down will also help prevent drop-out.”
