Remarkable impact is the heart of our mission – and the driving force behind that mission is the collective impact of thousands of nonprofits, families, companies and organizations who partner with us to amplify the power of giving. Salisbury Community Foundation was formed in 1944 by a group of concerned citizens with the common interest of making Salisbury & Rowan County a better place to live. Their goal was to help fulfill the many charitable needs of the community in areas ranging from heath & human services to education & religion. In the 50+ years since the Foundation was created, it has remained focused on helping donors realize their charitable goals and enhancing the community's philanthropic capacity.
