Grants

NCCF is privileged to administer grants on behalf of fundholders to support charitable organizations doing important work across North Carolina. Many of our competitive grants programs are awarded in partnership with our statewide network of local affiliate foundations and giving circles. We steward other important grantmaking for regional programs, corporate clients and in times of disaster.

Scholarships
