Hot Springs Village Community Foundation
Founded in 1983, Hot Springs Village Community Foundation is an affiliate of Arkansas Community Foundation and serves Hot Springs Village, Garland and Saline counties. Hot Springs Village Community Foundation has been instrumental in promoting the arts in Hot Springs Village, outfitting the community library and granting scholarships to area youth. Small, immediate grants were given in the early years. By 2017, we had over $1 million in endowments and became the 28th affiliate of Arkansas Community Foundation. Now in 2024 we have $2.6 million in 49 endowment funds.
Our current funding priorities mirror statewide initiatives in Food Security, Early Literacy, and Animal Welfare.
Our local foundation now has endowments designated to help area children and education, animal welfare, the arts, veterans and emergency medical services. We have a growing Giving Tree endowment and other unrestricted endowments that allow us to grant nearly $80,000 each year to organizations that improve our community.
