Annual Donations
The Central Community Scholarship Foundation is “fueled” each year by the generosity of local businesses, community organizations, and individuals from near and far! These gifts are added to our general fund or the CCSF endowment account at the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque (according to the wishes of the donor). The general fund is used for the yearly CCSF scholarship to each senior who completes the application process. We use the accrued interest from the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque to also fund the CCSF scholarships.
These donors make the difference in what we can give Central senior applicants for a scholarship.
The Central Community Scholarship Foundation is grateful.

Memorials
Each year the Central Community Scholarship Foundation is the recipient of memorial gifts to honor loved ones. We recognize these individuals by sharing their names here as well as sending personal thank you’s to the givers.

1 in $1000
When the Foundation was formed to support Central CSD graduating seniors for their post secondary education, a fund drive called “1 in 1000” was kicked off to build the financial foundation of the organization. Contributors need to give at least $1000 to be recognized. CCSF continues to add donors of $1000 or more to this list. The Central Community Scholarship Foundation honors the generosity of these gifts on this page.
