Funds for 2024 grants came from BCCF’s community grantmaking fund and the U.S. Open King Mackerel Tournament Fund. Each year, BCCF’s local volunteer advisory board uses dollars from its endowment funds to make grants to eligible local organizations, including nonprofits, local governments, schools and churches.
