About Bethany Legacy Foundation
Bethany Legacy Foundation concentrates its giving on strengthening Madison and Jefferson County communities through large, targeted awards that support youth development, family stability, and community infrastructure. The foundation routinely funds schools, Boys & Girls Clubs, municipal initiatives, homeownership and housing-stability programs, and coordinated care services — often committing substantial sums to a small number of local grantees and repeating support. Their grants emphasize practical, place-based investments that promote strong youth, empowered adults, and stable seniors.
