Community Impact Funds

Invest in tomorrow's needs, today

Community foundations – like Foundation for the Carolinas – were created by and for the people of a community, to ensure ongoing support for local needs.

An unrestricted gift to an FFTC Community Impact Fund means your investment stays relevant. It reaches what matters most, not just today, but in the years and decades ahead. FFTC has spent decades listening to this community, studying its needs, and anticipating what comes next. Your investment is in good hands..
