Promoting, celebrating and enabling philanthropy for good. Forever. There are many reasons why people chose to give through our foundation, but the most prominent reason is our local roots. Since 1977, we have been deeply ingrained in eastern North Carolina, providing giving opportunities that directly benefit our region forever and convening resources and ideas to create a positive change in our community. With other gifts and grants and by your donations, we can help you maximize the impact for the organization and the community.
