Grants

We are honored to serve the people of our state by connecting our nonprofit partners that are meeting community needs with our fundholders and donors supporting that vital work. Our competitive grantmaking programs demonstrate our fundholders’ commitment to nonprofit causes strengthening our communities across the state.

NCCF sustains more than 1,200 endowments in communities across North Carolina. Many of our funds are advised by their donors, based on their philanthropic interests, rather than through an application process. However, we offer several grantmaking programs that seek applications each year. Learn more about these programs, their guidelines and criteria below.

Community grantmaking

NCCF’s community grantmaking programs are advised by our network of affiliate foundations. Affiliate advisory board members live and work locally, positioning them to strategically leverage resources, meet local needs and access opportunities.

Learn about NCCF's 2024 community grantmaking programs at a virtual grantseeker workshop.

Giving circles

NCCF sponsors several giving circles in North Carolina. Primarily focused on women’s giving, NCCF’s giving circles support charitable organizations serving women, children and families. These programs leverage local community networks and the power of collective giving.

Louise Oriole Burevitch Endowment
