Give Back to Your Community

Each one of us is a product of our community. The communities we grow up in or move into make us who we are. Every community is the sum of the people who live within it –a unique mix of our personalities, cultures and interests. The causes we care about, the time we invest, the people we bring together –all shape our communities now and for future generations. Giving back continues the cycle of a vibrant and sustainable community.

Supporting DCF benefits my community

“Just like any business, charitable organizations have general administrative and overhead costs. It is important to support annual operating at Durham Community Foundation to ensure it remains a strong and vital contributor in my community and to provide them with funding to grow endowments, distribute meaningful grants to local charities, share expertise, and inspire philanthropy throughout the Region of Durham."
