Cashiers Community Fund


Past and present of the Cashiers Community Fund's Board of Directors

The Cashiers Community Fund reaches out to full- and part-time residents to raise awareness of the impact their grants have in the community. The "Campaign for Cashiers" was launched this year in response to a generous challenge grant. The goal of the campaign is to build more than $2 million in assets, enabling the fund to support important projects that address critical community needs.

The Fund recently partnered with Western Carolina University to conduct a needs assessment of the Cashiers community. To view the report, click here.
