Fort Smith’s history dates from 1817, when a small fort was established near what would become the border of Arkansas and Oklahoma. Today, it is Arkansas’ second largest city with the state’s most diverse population. Despite per capita income 12 per cent above the Arkansas average, Fort Smith has the same 12 per cent poverty level as the rest of the state. So, there exist both the capacity for philanthropic funds and unmet community needs.
The Fort Smith Area Community Foundation was established in 1988 to address these opportunities. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007, FSACF’s 6.2 million in assets produced $146,916 in grants, including $22,963 from local board discretionary funds. Since December, 2002, FSACF has maintained an office in Fort Smith’s Central Mall to better serve fund donors and support non-profit organizations in Sebastian County.
