  • By Giving Today, We're Growing Tomorrow
    October 2013 - September 2014 Donors give to The Community Foundation of South Alabama with a vision of a better tomorrow. We grow these gifts to provide grants that make their vision a reality. By giving today, we’re growing tomorrow. Henry Ford writes, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.” The year 2014 marked the 100th anniversary of community foundations. Over 750 foundations across the country celebrated the founding of this magnificent model of philanthropy. Mayor Sandy Stimpson proclaimed November 12 – 18 “Community Foundation Week” to celebrate the spirit of philanthropy and to recognize the many individuals, businesses, and organizations which have been the inspiration for the growth and progress of this community. The Community Foundation of South Alabama has grown to over $70 million in assets. During the fiscal year, we distributed over $2.7 million in grants. Perhaps most importantly, we began to chart the course for our future endeavors. Buoyed by the new excitement for our community and this foundation, we embarked on a new direction and with a new vision. For so long, people have said that our part of Alabama is the region of perpetual potential but now we are realizing that potential as we experience new and exciting growth. Photo: Jeff Kennedy We at the Community Foundation are determined to join with others in our community, inspired to help create a thriving region. We identified three initiatives to address pertinent issues which will not only move our economy but improve the quality of life for all of our people: Veterans, Workforce Training, and Young Philanthropy.

Ware, Jr. Council Commissioner Mobile Area Council, BSA 2000 - 2012 History of the Mobile Area Council, BSA In 1919, soon after the First World War, the Boy Scout movement in the United States was spreading rapidly. This movement spread to Mobile, Alabama where, on January 16, 1919, a group of civic minded men met at the Mobile Chamber of Commerce and decided that Mobile boys should share in a great movement which was then a few years old. Present at the first meeting on January 16, 1919, at the Mobile Chamber of Commerce was Paul Harris, representing this new movement known as the Boy Scouts of America, E. M. Bailey, J. L. Cawthorn, W. M. Clemens, John T. Cochran, H. B. Crocker, George Linning, C. H. Mohr, and S. S. Murphy represented Mobile. Paul Harris described the plans of the Boy Scouts as organized by Sir Baden- Powell in 1910. The ideals of the Boy Scout movement had already caught on in Mobile, and there were troops of from 5 to 30 boys throughout the city. They were not organized or standardized, however, and there was another organization known as the United States Boy Scouts active in Mobile at the time. This organization was comprised of boys under the age of 12, whereas the Boy Scouts of America concentrated it activities on boys in those formative years of ages 12 to 18.
