Foundation For The Carolinas inspires philanthropy and empowers individuals to create a better community.
The Salisbury Community Foundation's annual competitive grantmaking program emphasizes supporting effective programs and strategies within specific target areas, particularly those capable of attaining measurable results. The Foundation prioritizes projects that address a clear community need in one of the following areas: Arts & Culture, Animal Welfare, Career Readiness and Workforce Development, Environment, Health Care (with priority to COVID-19 relief), Human Services (especially serving at-risk populations), and Public Education (emphasizing higher and early childhood education). It is interested in investments that promise tangible outcomes and question each potential investment's efficacy, outcomes, and judicious use of resources. Grant proposals can request up to $10,000, with typical awards ranging between $2,500 and $8,000, based on the project's merit and available funding.
