About the Salisbury Community Foundation: The Salisbury Community Foundation was established in 1944 to increase the charitable giving resources in the Salisbury/Rowan County area.

From its first contribution to create a community endowment, the Salisbury Community Foundation has grown into a philanthropic organization managing over 100 funds with total charitable assets of over $20 million. The Salisbury Community Foundation joined Charlotte-based Foundation For The Carolinas as a supporting organization in 1995 and became an affiliate in 2006.

The foundation assists donors in making charitable contributions to the community, provides services for nonprofit organizations to create new or manage existing endowments and awards grants for new projects. For more information, visit: www.salisbury-cf.org.
