The Norfolk Area Community Foundation Fund is investing in giving back to the Norfolk community. We love our hometown! The generosity of awesome donors (like you!) gets pooled together to create a powerful gift of grants for our community. Your donation to our Unrestricted Endowment will help support the whole community through grant making opportunities for the emerging needs and opportunities in the Norfolk area. Thanks to your generous donations, you will continue to help enhance Norfolk both now and for years to come.
