Bond County Community Foundation

The Bond County Community Foundation (BCCF) is dedicated to the furtherance of charitable and educational opportunities within the local Bond County area.

The purpose of BCCF is to bring donors and local nees together. We have been serving Greenville, Mulberry Grove, Pocahontas, Sorento, Smithboro, Keyesport, and Pierron since 2014. We hope to simulate charitable giving to build a better Bond County. Through either designated or undesignated funds from donors, the BCCF makes grants in virtually every field of interest including education, youth, community development, human service, and culture. 

 

 

The BCCF currently administers funds for several groups including:
