Community Grants – How to Apply Cumberland Community Foundation is a nonprofit (501(c)(3)) charitable foundation established in 1980 by Dr. Lucile Hutaff with a gift of $576,840. Today, Cumberland Community Foundation’s assets are almost $40 million in more than 350 grantmaking funds. Many of these grantmaking funds support specific charitable causes chosen by the donors who establish them—ranging from scholarships to designated charities to very specific charitable programs. Dr. Hutaff’s gift was a “Community Fund” – an unrestricted endowment that enables the Foundation’s board to support the best opportunities and greatest priorities in our community each year. Fortunately, many other donors have followed Dr. Hutaff’s example of unrestricted giving. Community Funds currently make up one-fifth of the assets of the Foundation. Once a year, charitable organizations in Cumberland County may apply for funding made possible by these Community Funds.
