About the North Baldwin Community
Foundation
With the
creation of the North Baldwin Community Foundation, an affiliate of The
Community Foundation of South Alabama, local community leaders have found the
perfect way to make a lasting impact on the citizens of Bay Minette and
surrounding communities. The North Baldwin Community Endowment Fund serves as a
vehicle to receive donations and bequests to benefit the community in
perpetuity.
By working with
The Community Foundation of South Alabama, members can focus on raising the
funds and deciding charitable use for the income of their fund while relying on
the Foundation to handle the administration, investment and required daily
tasks. Through a concerted grant-making effort, the effects of The North
Baldwin Community Endowment Fund can be felt for generations to come. An
advisory committee of local residents makes recommendations about how the
charitable dollars are spent, and the Foundation bears the legal responsibility
to ensure that the funds are then used in compliance with donor intent.
