Impact Investing & Venture Philanthropy

We match your passion for progress with the programs, organizations, and people doing the work that makes North Carolina great.

From an angel investment in an amazing start-up to a well-placed and leveraged donation, you're investing in North Carolina and we're here to make sure you are having the biggest impact possible.

Real Impact Requires Local Passion

Substantive impact investing in organizations and people are made by those with the best information and knowledge of local communities and local cultures.

We live and breathe North Carolina and its communities. From the crisp mountain air to the peaceful sea breeze of the coast and everywhere in between, we know the people and the local passion for progress throughout North Carolina communities. 

We see raw and ready opportunities on the ground statewide everyday.

Within the nuance of each locale and sector is where the opportunity for monumental change hides and The North Carolina Fund's mission is to find and ignite these opportunities with you. 

Measuring Impact

Data is the cornerstone to measure impact and replicate success or, at times, iterate from what may at first seem like a failure. 

Data, analytics, and relationships are at the heart of The North Carolina Fund's strategies and programs because tracking, evaluation, and trust are the core of good stewardship.
