The Currituck-Dare Community Foundation
The Currituck-Dare Community Foundation was organized in 1999 and is one of 60 affiliate community foundations serving 66 counties working in partnership with the North Carolina Community Foundation. The North Carolina Community Foundation manages nearly 1,000 endowed funds for charitable purposes.
The Currituck-Dare Community Fund is a component fund of the NCCF. The earnings from this fund are made available to help other local nonprofits address community needs through an annual grant program. Grant applications and information about grants are available on the NCCF website: nccommunityfoundation.org.
Grants are awarded to support human services, the arts, education, health, civic affairs, historic and cultural preservation, and conservation and to encourage programs and services to benefit residents and visitors alike.
