About Bell Community Foundation
In 2018, a generous gift from the estate of Norma Renner gave Bell County something rare: a permanent endowment that supports local nonprofits every year, year after year.Bell Community Foundation (BCF) is an IRS- recognized 501(c)(3) public charity. Community foundations exist to meet the unique needs of their own communities, and BCF was created with that vision: to strengthen Bell County for the long term.The Renner gift established the endowment that makes our grantmaking possible. Each year, a portion of its earnings is awarded as grants to charitable organizations selected by our Board of Directors.The endowment grows through the generosity of donors like you, along with investment earnings. A strong, sustainable endowment means BCF can keep investing in the people, organizations, and neighborhoods that make Bell County a special place to live, work, play and learn.
What We Do
Bell Community Foundation is a trusted partner and resource for nonprofits across Bell County.
Through gifts and bequests from individuals, families, and businesses, we fund programs and projects in education, human services, health, and the arts, along with other local priorities.
Our mission is simple: a stronger, healthier, more vibrant Bell County for everyone who lives and works here.
We devoted our first few years to growing the endowment. Since 2022, BCF has awarded $125,000 in grants to 16 local 501(c)(3) nonprofits.
