Why should I give to the PCF?

As neighbors and as a community, we believe we are stronger together as we help local nonprofits provide a better life to those in need in Mecklenburg County. In order to do so, the neighbors of the Peninsula Community, who make up the Board of Directors, carefully evaluate both the needs of the community and effectiveness of local charities. These factors determine which organizations get funded by the PCF, and priority is given to those charities that most effectively use PCF donations to achieve tangible, quantifiable results.

PCF is committed to helping local nonprofit organizations develop and expand not only through direct financial contributions, but with their entire mission. We work alongside them to increase marketing and PR, improve fundraising efforts, enhance volunteer recruitment, expand their presence in the community and improve their strategic planning and corporate governance. Our recipient organizations benefit not only from our financial contribution, but from the direct involvement of PCF Board Members, neighbors, and volunteers in the Peninsula and Cornelius community.
