Capital City Bank Group Foundation Awards Grants to Local Organizations

Twice each year, the Capital City Bank Group (CCBG) Foundation donates funds to charitable organizations in the communities it serves.

Last Wednesday, the CCBG Foundation awarded $500 grants to the Gulf County ARC and St. Joseph Bay Humane Society, both in Port St. Joe. The grants provided by the CCBG Foundation help these organizations enhance the lives of many citizens in the local community.

 "We believe it is important to support organizations that provide essential services to the residents of Port St. Joe and the surrounding area," said Ray Thompson, Gulf County president.

"Community involvement has always been a hallmark of Capital City Bank and by donating valuable funds for special projects and needs, the CCBG Foundation can help build stronger communities."

The CCBG Foundation is a non-profit organization created in 1983 by Capital City Bank Group that provides grants to non-profit, charitable organizations and institutions exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The mission of the CCBG Foundation is to invest in initiatives that benefit local communities.

A majority of the funds are distributed to specific areas of focus, including: arts/culture, children/youth services, economic/community development, education, health/sciences and human services. Grant applications are reviewed twice a year. Applications are due by April 1 and Oct. 1.
