About the Montgomery County Fund
An affiliate of the North Carolina Community Foundation, the Montgomery County Fund is a growing family of philanthropic funds, source of grants for local causes and partner for donors. The MCF was founded in 1997 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 Montgomery County.
The MCF board advises the Montgomery County 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 Montgomery County, positioning them to strategically leverage resources, meet local needs and access opportunities. In addition to Matheny, board members include: Michael Hayes (vice president), Gary McRae (secretary/grants chair), Breon Allen, Deborah Barden, William Bean, Will Carpenter, Brady Dickson, Rosemary Huntley, Craig Jones, Richard Kissell, Earl Leake, Vera Richardson and Melissa Taylor.
