Foundation For The Carolinas
Purpose
For more than six decades, we have been an ever-growing institution, currently serving a 13-county region in North and South Carolina. The fifth-largest community foundation in the country, we are a nonprofit that:
• Manages nearly 3,000 funds established with a wide variety of assets – from appreciated securities to real estate – to benefit both specific and broad charitable purposes.
We also work to improve our community by:
• Awarding grants from unrestricted funds for key community needs.
• Partnering with philanthropists, government, nonprofits and private businesses to identify and improve critical needs.
• Building permanent endowments that will benefit charitable organizations year after year.
Throughout the years, the Foundation has served as a catalyst for charitable good, connecting individuals, companies and organizations to needs and philanthropic opportunities across the region and beyond. A community foundation deeply dedicated to the collective strength of communities, we work in close partnership with donors, civic leaders, businesses and nonprofits to achieve a wide variety of charitable goals and to inspire philanthropy that will benefit generations to come.
