About Us
Community Foundation of Burke County Inc.
A small group of concerned local citizens established the Community Foundation of Burke County, Inc. in 2000. They wanted to ensure that Burke County, North Carolina would continue to flourish during their lifetimes and long into the future. They also wanted to provide a means for members of this close knit community to care for the organizations, churches and communities that they love far beyond their lifetimes. The Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization and receives gifts, endowments and bequests from individuals, families, businesses and organizations. The distributions from these funds are used to make grants to qualified charitable agencies and institutions primarily serving the residents of Burke County, North Carolina.
