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 grant program, overseen by the CCCF, focuses on responding to changing community needs and enhancing the quality of life within Cherokee County through annual grants. Specifically, it supports local nonprofit organizations with grants typically ranging from $500 to $1,000, with total grantmaking not exceeding $2,100. The program operates competitively and aims to support a wide array of local needs and opportunities as identified by the advisory board members who reside within the community.
