The Cary Community Foundation (CCF) has awarded $4,500 in grants to programs supporting the local community.
The board of advisors granted:
$500 to Gigi’s Playhouse Raleigh for the Down Syndrome Achievement Center: educational, therapeutic and career-training programs
$1,500 to Kiran, Inc. for client support
$500 to Made4Me, Inc. for the Making Abilities Possible project

$750 to The Center for Volunteer Caregiving for the In-Home Connections program
$500 to Wake Monarch Academy for supporting adolescents in recovery from substance abuse disorder through the Triangle’s first and only recovery high school
Funds for the grants came from CCF’s community grantmaking fund.
“We’re happy to support such great local organizations,” said Mike Stellpflug, advisory board president of the Cary Community Foundation. “They help make the Cary community a better place to live and work.”
CCF is an affiliate of the North Carolina Community Foundation and is led by a local volunteer advisory board.
Each year, CCF uses dollars from its endowment fund to make grants to local nonprofit organizations.
Advisory board members live and work in Cary, positioning them to strategically leverage resources, meet local needs and access opportunities. In addition to Stellpflug, board members include Sarah Stoeckel (vice president), Laura Martin (secretary), Andrea Finucane, Catherine Pham, Dipak Prasad, Prity Shah and Hiwot Tesfaye.
