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.
