Applications are available beginning March 18. Visit nccommunityfoundation.org for information about applying. The deadline for applications is April 19 at noon.

About the Johnston County Community Foundation

The Johnston County Community Foundation (JCCF) is a growing family of philanthropic funds, source of grants for local causes, and partner for donors. The JCCF was founded in 1992 and is led by a local volunteer advisory board that helps build community assets through the creation of permanent endowments, makes grants, and leverages leadership – all for the benefit of Johnston County.

The JCCF board advises the Johnston County Community Fund, the unrestricted community grantmaking fund, to support local needs. The competitive grants program is held annually. Advisory board members live and work in Johnston County, positioning them to strategically leverage resources, meet local needs, and access opportunities.

In addition to Johnson, board members include Don Boyette (vice president), Kevin Boyette (secretary/treasurer), Bill Galloway (grants chair), Nancy Faber (past president), Emery Ashley, Wanda Blow, Gwen Canady, Rick Childrey, Lorine Davis, Michelle Pace-Davis, Margaret DiNubila, Suefan Johnson, Robin Little, Laurie Partlo and Betsy Whittington.

The Johnston County Community Foundation, through the NCCF, makes it easy to become a philanthropist, whatever your means or charitable goals. You can open an endowment for your favorite cause at any time – or contribute to an existing fund in any amount. Tax-deductible contributions, made payable to the Johnston County Community Foundation, can be mailed to the North Carolina Community Foundation, 3737 Glenwood Ave., Suite 460, Raleigh, NC 27612. Contributions can also be made online at nccommunityfoundation.org.
