Grant Making
The Outer Banks Community Foundation makes grants quarterly to qualified nonprofit organizations, religious institutions and government agencies on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.  The Foundation will consider grants that involve a broad segment of the community, provide an innovate approach to addressing area needs, initiate projects or programs to influence beneficial change and attract additional funding from other sources.

The Foundation generally will not consider grants for annual operating expenses and projects or programs that should be supported by government or other charities.

The Grants Committee reviews all applications and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors which must vote to approve any grant award.

Deadlines
Completed applications must be received in the Foundation office by 5 p.m. on the following deadline dates:
