The Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham was created in 1959 to connect donors with the most pressing needs of the community and the best opportunities to make life better in greater Birmingham. Today, we serve the five counties around Birmingham, Alabama -- Jefferson, Shelby, St. Clair, Walker and Blount.We help nonprofit organizations by making grants and by providing options to their donors, such as Charitable Gift Annuities and a Charitable Real Estate Foundation. We help donors by offering knowledge of the community and flexible giving options to give them maximum tax benefits. We help professional advisors, such as attorneys, accountants and financial planners, by giving them new ways to work with their clients who are interested in giving to charity today or as part of an estate plan.
