The MCCF was founded in 2004 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 &ndash; all for the benefit of Martin County. The MCCF board advises the Martin County Community Fund, the unrestricted community grantmaking fund, to support local needs. The competitive grants program is held annual. Advisory board members live and work in Martin County, positioning them to strategically leverage resources, meet local needs and access opportunities. In addition to Sproat, board members include: Jerry McCrary (vice president), Susan Dunlow (treasurer and secretary), Chase Conner, Loyall Corey, Kasey Fletcher, Leslie Johnson, Lucia Peel, Candance Whitehurst and Nancy Winslow.
