I believe that the WA Community Foundation serves a vital need for our community. As a long time community volunteer, I have witnessed their work first hand. Presently, I serve as the president of the Board of Directors of Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama. The Foundation has enabled us to serve girls in the community of Cordova, who otherwise would not have had the opportunity to participate. Also, more recently, after a merger of 4 Councils, the Foundation was instrumental in helping us with technology issues, specifically, computers. I give a great big THANK YOU to the Foundation and all who support it.

Being affiliated with the Walker Area Community Foundation through my non-profit employer, I get to see, first-hand, the benefits WACF brings to our community. WACF is an integral part of this community in building partnerships with non-profits, businesses, agencies, donors, volunteers, educators and others. The committment displayed to preserve community history and educate our youth on that history and area heritage is unmatched. The Walker Area Community Foundation ensures tools and training opportunities are available and appropriate for local non-profits thus enabling those non-profits to better serve our community. The WACF is extremely valuable to this community - many organizations manage funds and provide grants, but few invest in the community, its partners and heritage like WACF does!

Our community has a rare jewel in the Walker Area Community Foundation! Not only is it unusual to have a foundation in a community this size, it is also most extraordinary to have one that is as large and caring as this one. The Walker Area Community Foundation makes a difference in every life it touches – from the people it helps, to the donors that give, to the volunteers that work in the trenches. We are all united in a common cause, to make this community a better place for everyone that lives here. With this organization, every dollar counts, every minute counts and every person counts.

What makes the Walker Area Community Foundation such a shinning start is that it touches so many people and organizations in so many ways. While Director of the Jasper Area Family Services Center , we were given invaluable financial support through grants for operations and outreach. Several programs housed there recieved grants for specific projects involving social services. The WACF was instrumental in starting our Non-Profit Council which facilitated ongoing communication and colaboration amoung the areas many non-profits. Now as a retired volunteer , I am privileged to be a part of the opening of many doors into a rich local history through the stories and exihibits on display in the Bankhead House and Heritage Center adminstered by the WACF. Education, Lilteracy, social services, collaboration, history, and culture are all goals seeded and nurtured by the Community Foundation.

WACF works tirelessly to serve our community and make it even better that it already is whether working with the Long Term Recovery Committee after the April storms last year to partnering with area nonprofits to have an impact in Walker County and the surrounding counties.

The Walker Area Community Foundation was chosen by my family to facilitate the final will and testament wishes of our mother. We entrusted WACF with a precious endeavor. We share time, talent, treasure and TRUST.

Hello, I am a Client Served. An amazing thing happened.... I never felt like a "client" or like I was being "served". This staff of awesome individuals possess the gift of making one feel like a "friend or family member". Walker Area Community Foundation is courteous, compassionate, and professionals in their field. They have made it possible for me to live the rest of my life to the fullest extent in a functioning, safe, weatherproof, beautiful home that now my grandchildren can visit (and they do) without a fear of danger. I am very grateful and appreciative of the time, attention, and effort the WACF has given me and my family. Thank you so much and be blessed WACF.

I believe the Foundation is at the center of creating a better tomorrow for the people in our area. The Foundation matches donors, with needs of the community based on aggressive research and collaboration. It is a fun and rewarding way to build the community I want for my children.
