“This year we received 21 applications requesting more than $20,000,” said Anderson. “Our board members had to make some hard choices, and they are committed to raising more money for the Brunswick County Unrestricted Endowment so we can assist more local nonprofits with their projects.”

“All the money we raise for the endowment stays right here in Brunswick County, so I hope folks will consider making a tax-deductible donation to the Brunswick County Unrestricted Endowment,” said Anderson.
