About the Currituck Extension Foundation
Who We Are
The Currituck Extension Foundation is committed to enhancing the quality of life for families and individuals within our community. Through our wide range of educational programs and resources, we aim to empower participants of all ages to lead healthier lifestyles and make informed choices.
As a federally recognized 501(c)(3) charitable organization, we prioritize removing financial obstacles that may prevent community members from accessing our programs. By working closely with local partners and stakeholders, we create inclusive opportunities that foster lifelong learning and personal growth.
Our foundation believes that education is a vital tool for building strong families and thriving communities. We provide valuable resources that address various topics, from nutrition and health to financial literacy and family dynamics. Our goal is to ensure that everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances, has access to the support and knowledge they need to succeed.
Join us in our mission to cultivate a healthier, more educated, and resilient community. Together, we can build a brighter future for generations to come.

How We Do It
The Currituck Extension Foundation thrives on the generous support of donors, local community groups, grants, and a dedicated endowed fund with the North Carolina Community Foundation. These vital contributions enable us to fulfill our mission of fostering strong families, promoting education across all ages, and providing essential resources for healthier living in our community. Every donation, big or small, plays a crucial role in empowering our programs and initiatives. Together, we can continue to build a vibrant, supportive environment for everyone in Currituck.
