The Currituck-Dare Community Foundation is a growing family of philanthropic funds, source of grants for local causes and partner for donors. CDCF was founded in 1999 and is led by a local volunteer advisory board that helps build community assets through the creation of permanent endowments, makes grants and leverages leadership – all for the benefit of Currituck and Dare counties.
The CDCF board advises the Currituck-Dare Community Fund, the unrestricted community grantmaking fund, to support local needs. This competitive grants program is held annually. Because advisory board members live and work in Currituck and Dare counties, they can leverage resources to help meet local needs and access opportunities. In addition to Davies, board members include: Loismary Hoehne (vice president), Linda Algood (treasurer), Margaret Di Small (secretary), Janet Colegrove, Nina Foster, Scott Foster, Cynthia Jarvis, Daniel La Rue, Vickie Smith Moore, Jane Oden, Hannah Robinson and Ginger Webster.
The Currituck-Dare Women's Fund is a program of the North Carolina Community Foundation designed to maximize women’s leadership in philanthropy by engaging and educating its membership, increasing charitable contributions and strengthening communities through the impact of collective giving. The annual grant focus is on women and children in Currituck and Dare counties.
The CDCF and CDWF, through the North Carolina Community Foundation, makes it easy to become a philanthropist, whatever your means or charitable goals. You can open an endowment for your favorite cause at any time – or contribute to an existing fund in any amount. Tax-deductible contributions, made payable to either the Currituck-Dare Community Foundation and Currituck-Dare Women's Fund, can be mailed to the North Carolina Community Foundation, 3737 Glenwood Ave. Suite 460, Raleigh, NC 27612.
