About the Carteret Community Foundation
An affiliate of the North Carolina Community Foundation, the Carteret Community Foundation is a growing family of philanthropic funds, source of grants for local causes and partner for donors. The CCF was founded in 2005 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 Carteret County.
The CCF board advises the Carteret Community Fund, the unrestricted community grantmaking fund, to support local needs. The competitive grants program is held on an annual basis. Advisory board members live and work in Carteret County, positioning them to strategically leverage resources, meet local needs and access opportunities. In addition to Robertson, board members include: Debra Harvell (vice president), Rhonda Scibal (secretary), Chuck Jordan (treasurer), Richard McIntyre (immediate past president), Sammy Brooks, Peggy Burns, Michelle Gregory, Kniffy Hamilton, Ray Harris, Beth Henry, Corey Lewis, Jimmy Mercer, Ryan Morris, Ginger Parker, Wayne Schriever and Jan Sutton.
The Carteret Community Foundation, through the NC 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.
