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 competitive grants program of the Mount Airy/Surry County Community Foundation aims to respond to changing community needs and enhance the quality of life within the county. This is achieved through annual grants to local nonprofit organizations. The program is guided by an advisory board composed of local volunteers who live and work in Mount Airy or Surry County, ensuring that grants strategically leverage resources, meet local needs, and access opportunities. Total grantmaking will not exceed $1,500, underscoring the foundation's commitment to supporting local causes and initiatives.
