As part of a shared $10 million commitment of the $45.19 billion, Raleigh, N.C.-based State Employees' Credit Union and the State Employees' Credit Union Foundation to provide COVID-19 disaster relief, an additional grant has been made – this time to support local non-profit organizations in communities across North Carolina. The SECU Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization funded by the contributions of members of SECU, announced a $3 million grant to the North Carolina Community Foundation (NCCF). NCCF is a grant making foundation that provides small-dollar awards to sustain and grow non-profits in underserved communities in North Carolina. The $3 million grant is comprised of two pieces – a $2 million general purpose grant that will help NCCF provide assistance to community non-profits through its North Carolina Healing Communities Fund, and a $1 million challenge grant that will help NCCF raise the additional capital needed to meet the goals of the Healing Communities Fund. The fund will focus on small-dollar grants to local non-profits that provide services in health care, human services, housing and education.
