The early settlers to our area discovered, mined and refined the area’s abundance of iron ore. The Oxford, Cane Creek, Woodstock and Janney Furnaces shaped the economic base that gave rise to the communities across Calhoun County and northeast Alabama.
 
With this heritage in mind, the Community Foundation has established The Anvil Society, which exclusively and perpetually recognizes individuals and families who have made a planned or deferred gift to the Community Foundation or one of its endowments.
 
The following individuals and couples have made a commitment to help forge a stronger future for our region through their generosity:
