The Town of Waynesville Recreation Endowment was established in 1997. The purpose of the fund is to support the Waynesville Parks and Recreation Department with priority given to the operating expenses.

Money given to the fund is professionally managed by the North Carolina Community Foundation (NCCF) and continues to grow while only 5 percent is taken out annually for use.

Your gift idea keeps on giving long after you've made the initial contribution. The NCCF manages 1,000 funds worth over $110  million and is the only statewide community foundation in North Carolina.

There are many options for giving through the Community Foundation. Whether you wish to create a charitable endowment fund or make a gift to an existing fund, you may be assured that your gift will be used permanently to make a lasting contribution to the community.
