About Mccf
Mccf Inc. centers its giving on Mason County, West Virginia, through a mix of community grants, scholarships, and donor-administered funds. The most distinctive recent signal in the record is the 2023 grant total: a single reported distribution of $321,083 to multiple grant recipients. That scale fits a foundation that functions as a local grantmaker and scholarship administrator rather than a broad national funder.
Its program structure shows a strong place-based approach. The Community Grant Program supports projects that create opportunities for Mason County residents, with emphasis on capital and equipment, program development, capacity building, and operating support. Scholarship programs are also prominent, including foundation-administered scholarship funds and donor-established scholarship endowments for area students pursuing post-high school education. The foundation also administers named and existing funds, which can direct support to scholarships, program support, memorial funds, and economic development purposes.
Across its listed programs, Mccf Inc. supports arts and culture, education, health and human services, recreation, youth and family services, animal welfare, and community and economic development. The overall pattern is local, practical, and tied to community needs, with grants, scholarships, and emergency mini grants all operating within the same county-focused framework.
What Mccf Funds
Education is a major thread in Mccf Inc.’s grantmaking. Through its scholarship programs, the foundation administers competitive awards for Mason County students pursuing post-high school education, with payments made directly to colleges, universities, vocational schools, or other educational institutions.
The foundation also backs local nonprofit operations. Its Operating Support Grants are available through the Community Grants Program for eligible 501(c)(3) organizations seeking financial stability or stronger organizational capacity. That emphasis is echoed in the Community Connect Matching Grant Program, which gives priority to projects with matching grant opportunities and supports community development, capacity building, program support, and capital and equipment.
Community response is another defined area. The Emergency Relief / Mini Grant supports qualifying applicants facing emergency situations, while the Community Grant Program funds projects in arts and culture, education, health and human services, recreation, and youth and family services. Named and existing funds further extend support to scholarships, memorial purposes, program support, and economic development.
