About Us
Together with our partners, we’ve distributed over $4.7 million in grants to date and continue to grow a legacy of support that benefits Crawford County now and for generations to come.
Making our county a better place
The Crawford County Foundation is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization created in 2001 to support the people and projects that make our communities stronger. With representation from Cuba, Steelville, and Bourbon, our Board of Directors works to ensure local dollars stay local by funding initiatives that reflect the unique needs, hopes, and values of our region.
Building Futures
We provide a trusted structure for donors to give with purpose, confidence, and long-term impact. Whether it’s building early childhood education programs, preserving local history, supporting health and wellness efforts, or creating opportunities for students, we exist to connect generosity with action.
