What if the gifts we make today could keep supporting Carter County for years to come?

That is the idea behind the Carter County Community Fund. Created by local people for the community they call home, the Fund brings charitable gifts together to support projects and organizations working to make Carter County an even better place to live.

Each year, the Fund provides grants to local organizations addressing needs and creating opportunities right here in Carter County. And as the Fund grows, so does its ability to invest back into the community.

Right now, the 2026 Carter County Community Fund grant cycle is open! Eligible organizations serving Carter County can apply for funding through October 1.
