Supporting Rock County, One acre at a time

Being a community rich in agriculture consider donating 1 acre of corn or beans to the Rock County Grant Fund or any of the Community Funds. Grain can be accepted at any elevator. Tell the elevator operator the # of acres or bushels you want to donate to the Rock County Community Foundation.  The elevator will notify RCCF and we will sell the commodity for cash.  Advantage of a grain donation is the significant tax savings: By transferring ownership of the grain to a charity before it is sold, the producer excludes the sale proceeds from their taxable income, reducing federal income tax, self-employment tax, and state income tax.

Supporting Local Women and Girls

The mission of the Luverne Area Community Foundation Women’s Giving Circle is to support, educate, empower, and celebrate women and girls in the Rock County area.

Rock County Grant Fund

Grant fund that is more inclusive of giving and granting throughout the county.  A fund that draws us all together and builds community.  
Non-Profit organizations throughout Rock County can apply 2 times per year for project grants.  Our greatest need for unrestricted dollars. 

Bedrock Circle Fund

The Rock County Community Foundation wants to be a habit of yours, specifically to our county wide support funds.  This would be a spot for the authorization of payment form for a direct pull from a bank account or a recurring credit card.

We challenge you to commit an annual gift to the Community Grant Fund.
We want to make this habit easy and without thought by setting up a recurring gift. Download our easy monthly giving form and choose to make a monthly withdraw directly from your checking account or we will charge a credit card of your choice. Return it to our office and join others who are making a small donation monthly to create a larger impact countywide!

Rock County Community Foundation Pie Society

The Pie Society is a community-wide giving society made up of generous donors like you who have promised to leave a portion of their will/estate – or a piece of their pie – to the Rock County Community Foundation. By sharing a piece of your pie with the RCCF, you’re investing in the next generation. The amount of your gift is up to you.  Support your own fund, support the RCCF Grant Fund, our Bedrock Circle or any other fund we hold at RCCF. You can be rest assured that your charitable wishes will last forever.

When you include the Rock County Community Foundation in your estate plans, you ensure that your charitable goals are met for the betterment of Rock County.  We can help you get started.  And once you include RCCF  in your will or trust, please contact us to let us know.  We would love to Thank You and Welcome You to the RCCF Pie Society.

Max Your Community

MAX YOUR COMMUNITY – an opportunity every year in late fall to give to the community fund of your choice.
Our goal is to raise $100,000 county wide 
​You can help make more grants happen when you make 1 annual gift during Max Your Community!
