Mission
To administer funds entrusted to support charitable, cultural, educational and publicly beneficial activities in the community centered in and around Polk County, N.C. both by directly expending sums for such purposes and in cooperation with institutions qualified to carry out these objectives most efficiently. The foundation works with donors (both individuals and charitable organizations) to establish funds to benefit one or more named charities, to accomplish a certain objective (provide for cultural events, encourage the development of agriculture, provide free activities for youth, improve classroom teaching, etc.), to award scholarships to local students, and to allow the board of the Polk County Community Foundation to address the needs of the community as they change from time to time (unrestricted funds).
