Haywood County Community Foundation

The Haywood County Community Foundation is a growing family of philanthropic funds, source of grants for local causes and partner for donors. HCCF was founded in 1994 and is led by a local volunteer advisory board that helps build community assets through the creation of permanent endowments, makes grants and leverages leadership – all for the benefit of Haywood County.

The HCCF, through the NC Community Foundation, makes it easy to become a philanthropist, whatever your means or charitable goals. You can open an endowment for your favorite cause at any time – or contribute to an existing fund in any amount.

The HCCF board advises the Haywood County Community Fund, the unrestricted community grantmaking fund, to support local needs. This competitive grants program is held annually. Because advisory board members live and work in Haywood County, they can leverage resources to help meet local needs and access opportunities.

To supplement their first-hand knowledge of the community, the board annually reviews a Community Needs Assessment with county-specific data provided by respected, nonpartisan sources and trusted community partners.
