The grants committee of the Women’s Fund of North Carolina is comprised of representatives of NCCF’s local women’s giving networks and other female community leaders from across North Carolina. NCCF supports nine regionally based giving programs across the state.
“The Women’s Fund of North Carolina is dedicated to improving the quality of life for women, girls and families across the state,” said Tolle Whiteside. “This fund creates a unique opportunity to encourage philanthropic giving among women, for women.”
