The North Carolina Community Foundation marked 35 years in 2023. This milestone is a testament to the generosity of our state, our compelling mission, and the dedication of fundholders and partners like you who believe in creating opportunities for hope in our communities.
Our 2023 Impact Report not only showcases achievements over the past year but also underscores how your generosity supports communities over the long term. Endowments established at NCCF decades ago are making a lasting impact, and through thoughtful stewardship will continue to do so for generations to come.
Thanks to our donors and the 1,200 funds established over the past 35 years, we are able to do more in — and for — our communities than ever before. With you, we provided $28.6 million in grants and scholarships this year. Just five years ago, that figure was $15.8 million. We have nearly doubled our support of communities thanks to your partnership and commitment to philanthropy.
Our work each day exemplifies our shared values of Community, Partnership and Stewardship. We do not do this work alone. Rather, we believe our collective impact will strengthen communities. Local leadership, impactful grantmaking and engaged fundholders combine to ensure success.
Together, we are dedicated to enhancing the well-being of all North Carolinians, fostering collaboration to achieve common goals, and assisting donors in creating philanthropic legacies that benefit communities now and in the future.
Thank you for trusting us to create opportunities that provide hope and strengthen us all.
We look forward to continuing to work with you. If you have questions or want to discuss your philanthropic goals, please contact us.
With gratitude,
Katharine “Kack” H. Hardin
