Unifour Foundation Endowment Fund

The Unifour Foundation Inc. was created in 1996 with the proceeds from the sale of the Hickory Merchants Association's credit reporting company to Equifax, and the Unifour Foundation Endowment Fund was then established with the North Carolina Community Foundation in 1998. The Unifour Foundation Endowment Fund promotes general welfare among citizens in the four counties that comprise the Unifour area: Alexander, Burke, Caldwell and Catawba. 

A diverse advisory board of directors reviews applications and makes selections for grant funding. Members of the advisory board are elected on the basis of their knowledge of the community and their areas of expertise, and they must reside within, work in, or own property in one of the four counties. Members have an understanding the needs of the Unifour area and are familiar with outreach programs serving the population. 

Since 1999, the Unifour Foundation Endowment has awarded more than $5 million in grants.
