About Montgomery County Community Foundation
Montgomery County Community Foundation uses endowed and unrestricted funds to support local nonprofits and scholarships in Montgomery County, with annual competitive grants, scholarship programs, and a long-term disaster recovery fund all active in the same place. Recent awards show a mix of direct service, capacity support, and facility improvements: $23,000 to Montgomery County WC for support to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, and $20,000 to Family Houston to expand no-cost counseling for school. The foundation also funds youth and family services, such as $20,000 to Love Fosters Hope for summer camp for youths in foster care, alongside grants for food assistance, housing-related help, and health access. Its scholarship work runs alongside nonprofit grantmaking, creating a profile that serves both students and community organizations. The grant list includes recurring support for several groups across multiple years, which suggests sustained relationships rather than one-time awards only. Community grants are open to local 501(c)(3) nonprofits serving Montgomery County, and the foundation’s active programs include competitive requests for operating and program support, as well as scholarships administered through named funds.
