About Greater Cabarrus Foundation

The Greater Cabarrus Foundation is the community foundation for those who live, pray, and work in Cabarrus County, and those who wish to invest collaboratively in support of the nonprofit agencies which are addressing the greatest challenges in our community. We leverage our deep understanding of our community, combined with our flexibility and responsiveness, to serve as a crucial partner in community development through our three primary functions: fundraising, grantmaking, and collaboration. Fundraising and Resource Development: We work closely with community investors to understand their passions and intentions, directing gifts to address the exact purposes they have identified. By pooling financial contributions, we maximize resources to tackle critical community needs and establish permanent funds which ensure long-term sustainability. Grantmaking: We utilize our knowledge of community needs to strengthen the ecosystem of nonprofit agencies in Cabarrus County. Our grantmaking focuses on supporting agencies and initiatives that address key predictors of health and wellbeing, including housing, food, healthcare, safe environments, education, employment, and independent living. We provide increased and long-term support through various grantmaking programs, including donor-advised funds and a permanent community endowment fund. Collaboration: We bring together diverse stakeholders – agencies, businesses, government entities, donors, and community members – to collaborate on solutions and initiatives that address the most pressing needs in our community. Guided by the Community Needs Assessment produced by the Cabarrus Health Alliance, we ensure our efforts are aligned with both current and future community needs. Through these efforts, the Greater Cabarrus Foundation aims to create lasting, positive impacts and foster a flourishing, inclusive Cabarrus County.
