Community Projects
Cawaco has always worked to bring our communities together. From creating a tool trailer that can be used for trail building across the region to supporting small town revitalization through Your Town Alabama, we’re working to make our region stronger every day.
Conservation Projects
Cawaco works with partners like the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and Alabama Rivers & Streams Network (ARSN) to implement conservation practices, fund studies to better understand our local environment and improve habitat and water quality for natural and economic benefits.
The Holle Foundation
Cawaco provides administrative and program services for the Holle Family Foundation, established to honor the legacy of Brigadier General Everett Holle, a champion of servant leadership. Its mission is to support nonprofit organizations that reflect Holle’s commitment to causes that address societal needs, promote individual achievement, develop young leaders, and celebrate culture throughout central Alabama.
