The Moore County Community Foundation (MCCF), an affiliate of the North Carolina Community Foundation (NCCF), offers competitive grant funding to support charitable organizations serving Moore County. Founded in 1991, MCCF’s mission is to build community assets through permanent endowments, grantmaking, and leadership initiatives for the benefit of local residents.
The 2025 grant cycle will open on April 4, 2025, and will close at NOON Eastern Time on May 6, 2025. Applications submitted after the deadline, including those delayed by technical issues, will not be accepted. Grant awards typically range between $500 and $4,000. In 2024, MCCF awarded a total of $110,107 through this competitive process.
Funding is sourced from MCCF’s general community grantmaking fund, the John W. Roffe and Marjorie A. Roffe Endowment (supporting health care initiatives), and the Sarah McCain Currie Endowment Fund (supporting services for the homeless and indigent in Moore County).
Applications must be submitted via the NCCF’s online application system. First-time applicants should review and follow Training Modules I and II to create a profile and submit an application. All applicants are expected to adhere strictly to published guidelines to be eligible for consideration.
Grant decisions are typically announced approximately two months after the application period closes. The MCCF advisory board uses an annual Community Needs Assessment to guide funding decisions. Organizations are encouraged to review this assessment when shaping their applications.
For specific questions, applicants can contact the designated Program Officer at NCCF.
