Grants

The North Carolina Community Foundation is 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 a variety of grantmaking programs that do seek applications each year, according to the program’s intentions. These programs each have their own guidelines and criteria. Learn more about these programs below.

Community grantmaking

NCCF’s community grantmaking programs are advised by our network of affiliate foundations. Each affiliate is advised by a local board who help to marshall resources through their unique knowledge and understanding of local needs and opportunities.

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
