Organization: HANCOCK COUNTY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION INC
Mission: The Hancock County Community Foundation provides philanthropic leadership by encouraging giving, learning, community pride, and civic engagement. We envision a county in which each person has the opportunity to pursue dreams, enjoy daily life, and invest in meaningful causes.
Activities: THE HANCOCK COUNTY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION DISTRIBUTES GRANTS AND SCHOLARSHIPS. ALL GRANTS MADE BY THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION SHALL BE FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSES. GENERALLY THE DETERMINATION ON WHETHER AN ORGANIZATION'S ACTIVITIES ARE CHARITABLE OR NOT IS MADE BY THE IRS IN ASSIGNING A TAX-EXEMPT STATUS. ORGANIZATIONS WITH A 501(C)3 ARE ENGAGED IN CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES. THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION MAY ALSO MAKE GRANTS TO NON-501(C)3 ORGANIZATIONS WHEN THE GRANT IS FOR A CHARITABLE PURPOSE. SCHOLARSHIPS ARE PAID DIRECTLY TO THE VENDORS AND NOT TO INDIVIDUALS.
