The Robeson County Community Foundation (RCCF) aims to build community assets through the creation of permanent endowments, grants, and leadership in Robeson County. Founded in 2005 and guided by a local volunteer advisory board, RCCF facilitates local philanthropy by making it accessible for individuals of any means to support local causes, either by opening an endowment for their favorite cause or contributing to an existing fund.
The Beaufort-Hyde Unrestricted Fund primarily focuses on enhancing the quality of community life within Beaufort and Hyde counties. This is achieved through annual grants aimed at responding to changing community needs by supporting local nonprofit organizations. These grants, typically ranging from $500 to $1,000, are part of a competitive grant program managed by the Beaufort-Hyde Community Foundation, highlighting its commitment to addressing local needs through community-led decisions and resources.
