Quietly Making
a Huge Impact

The Foundation has been making its mark on the lives of South Mississippians by providing needed funding for programs that truly impact the quality of life on the Gulf Coast.

Here's how GCCF and other community foundations operate:

GCCF receives donations from individuals, families, corporations, non-profit organizations, foundations, and other groups. GCCF in turn makes sure those dollars are distributed directly into the community to the areas of need designated by the donors through grants, matching grants and direct donations.

How your local donations help

Your local donations through our annual campaign allow us to manage, administer and distribute the gifts we receive throughout the year.
