The Eastern Shore Community Foundation
of Virginia, an affiliate of The Norfolk Foundation, was
established in 2005 to provide individuals and organizations
with opportunities to improve the quality of life on the
Eastern Shore of Virginia. The foundation exists to enrich
the lives of people living in Accomack and Northampton
counties.
The mission of the Eastern Shore of Virginia Community
Foundation is to create and provide philanthropic resources
to meet a broad range of needs for the benefit of the Eastern
Shore of Virginia by:
-
Enabling donors to meet their charitable
goals through prudently administered permanently endowed
funds
-
Offering a comprehensive array of
services to encourage, advance and educate donors concerning
effective philanthropy
-
Making critical grants to meet current
and emerging community needs and opportunities.
Through its partnership with The Norfolk
Foundation, the Eastern Shore of Virginia Community
Foundation offers a convenient way for donors to make
charitable contributions to nonprofit organizations serving
the Eastern Shore. As an affiliate, the new community foundation is working
to raise $4 million in new funds by January 2009 in order to receive
$2 million from a Norfolk Foundation fund dedicated to the Eastern Shore.
In addition, the Eastern Shore foundation can draw on The
Norfolk Foundation’s more than 55-years of experience in
grantmaking and donor development. The Foundation provides a
variety of services to the Eastern Shore foundation to help
foster philanthropic resources and connect those resources
with nonprofit organizations in the community.
Anyone interested in providing for the
present and future needs of the residents of the Eastern
Shore can become a donor. Two options are establishing a
named fund or making a contribution to the foundation's
operating fund.
