Who can apply

“the Montgomery City Council accepts funding requests from nonprofit organizations that provide services in Montgomery.”
In the funder’s own words, from cacfinfo.org, checked Oct 20, 2026.

City council members decide on funding after CACF staff review. This is city money, so a religious school should ask whether its request qualifies.
