Since 1983, Community Foundation of Henderson County has been helping people who care make lasting contributions to causes that matter. The Foundation offers donors simple ways to achieve their charitable goals and provides support to nonprofit organizations who offer needed and meaningful services to our community.

In 2006, CFHC distributed $2.9 million to many nonprofit organizations and scholarship seekers in the Henderson County area and beyond. With assets of $74.6 million, CFHC comprises more than 370 different charitable funds.

CFHC is governed by a 17-member board of directors, made up of a cross section of Henderson County; created by and for the people of Henderson County.

We are pleased to announce that a new staff person has now joined the Community Foundation as the Donor Services Officer!

Her contact information is awerts@cfhcforever.org. Amanda received her Masters in Humanities from the University of Chicago and previously she was an adjunct professor at UNCA, AB Tech and BRCC.
