About NACF’s grantmaking

Founded in 2001, the Northern Albemarle Community Foundation is led by a local volunteer advisory board. Each year, NACF uses dollars from its endowment funds to make grants to nonprofits that help the local community.

The HCWGMW Donor Advised Fund, part of NACF's Family of Funds, conducts a separate grantmaking process, usually in September. More information is available on our website
