Our Community Funds

HCF Funds

Managed & Directed by Hudson Community Foundation

The Hudson Community Foundation strengthens our community by providing strategic grants twice a year, in the spring and fall. Below is a list of HCF Funds that serve as the source for these important grants. Learn more about applying for a grant here.

Donations to HCF Funds help with daily operational expenses and financing external grants to our Hudson-focused nonprofits. In our 25-year legacy of continuing to enhance the overall quality of life in Hudson, we have supported 60 local nonprofits that serve the needs of Hudson along with initiatives and organizations. We serve two primary purposes. (1) We give directly to nonprofit Hudson-based organizations that serve our community. And (2) we partner with individuals to assist them in achieving philanthropic goals.
