Central Carolina Community Foundation partners with local leaders across the Midlands to build philanthropy where it matters most. Through our Community Affiliates, volunteers and community leaders work alongside the Foundation to grow charitable resources, support nonprofits, and respond to the unique needs and opportunities within their communities.
Some affiliates are geographic community foundations, led by local advisory boards that guide grantmaking, raise philanthropic support, and help shape local giving strategies. Others bring together leaders around shared philanthropic priorities that strengthen communities across our region.
Together, these affiliates expand the reach of Central Carolina Community Foundation and help ensure that philanthropy reflects the voices, priorities, needs, and opportunities within the communities we serve.
