Elizabeth City Foundation aims to enhance the lives of residents in the Elizabeth City area. It supports worthy causes through community and civic projects focused on caring for the vulnerable populations, improving living conditions, feeding the hungry, meeting educational needs, and providing recreational opportunities.
The Elizabeth City Foundation grant program is committed to assisting individuals and communities in need within Elizabeth City and its surrounding areas. Unlike many other grant programs, there is no requirement for applicants to have any religious affiliation or to financially support the foundation itself. However, recipients are encouraged to pay it forward by performing an act of kindness, thereby promoting a continuous cycle of compassion and goodwill in the community. This grant supports various initiatives, including the care of the sick, aged, or helpless, improving living conditions, providing food for the hungry, addressing unmet educational needs, and offering recreational activities for all ages.
