Founded in 1991, FCCF works to increase philanthropic giving and establish endowments in the community. FCCF is part of the North Carolina Community Foundation network and is led by a local volunteer advisory board that understands community needs. Grants are made annually to local organizations.

Applications received after this deadline will not be accepted, including late submissions due to technology issues.
