About the Lenoir County Community Foundation
An affiliate of the North Carolina Community Foundation, the Lenoir County Community Foundation is a growing family of philanthropic funds, source of grants for local causes and partner for donors. The LCCF was founded in 1993 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 Lenoir County.
The LCCF board advises the Lenoir County Community Foundation, 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 Lenoir County, positioning them to strategically leverage resources, meet local needs and access opportunities. In addition to Theodorakis, board members include: Jim Purnell (vice president), Jimmette Graham (secretary), Chris Henderson (treasurer), Tonya Adams, Greg Hannibal, Stephen Hill, Adrian King, John Marston, Joseph Rasberry, Caroline Roberts, Chris Segal, Sandy Skirving, Leraine Tolston, Michael Whitfield and Blaine Worthington.
