The Glencoe Area Community Foundation launched in 2019 to create a legacy with projects that matter, supported by people who care. It's led by a local advisory board tasked with fundraising, grantmaking, and educating the community about Glencoe Area Community Foundation.
Grants from Glencoe Area Community Foundation are made possible with the earnings on our endowment fund. The larger the endowment, the more funds we can get back into the community every year, forever.
Will you help us get there by making a gift to the Glencoe Area Community Foundation?

We were able to support the creation of the Pocket Park in downtown Glencoe, which has been a great addition to the community and a wonderful gathering spot for our neighbors and friends.
Our grant application is open annually from April 1 through April 30. Currently, we offer $500 grant awards.
