review of first 10 years Over a decade ago, a small group of Burke County citizens established the Community Foundation of Burke County to give our citizens a means to support beloved nonprofits, organizations and churches in perpetuity - forever. Join us as we review more than 10 years of supporting projects and programs that improve the quality of life in Burke County. Thanks to the foresight of those community leaders and generous supporters and friends, the Community Foundation has been able to award grants in excess of $3.7 million in these early years.

We invite you to read the following articles, look at the pictures of those who have been affected by our work and study the charts and graphs of our progress during the first 10 years. We humbly marvel at the growth of our grants knowing that these grants have offered hope and transformation to many in our community. It is impossible to review these first 10 years without remembering the many donors who have established and given to these permanent funds. Each endowment was established with care, love and foresight. Please take a few minutes to read the list of endowments and remember those who planned and saved for the community they cherished.
