helps you turn generosity into lasting
change for the place you love.
Greater Pike Community Foundation, with its slogan “For Good. Forever.” was created to enable individuals, families, and local businesses to maximize their charitable support through organized, targeted, long-term community philanthropy.
Greater Pike provides a permanent and personal way to give back to the region we love and have worked so hard to nurture and maintain.
Since our founding in 2012, people who care about Pike County have invested money with Greater Pike. We now care for over 50 individual funds that support a wide variety of local causes.
Collectively, these dollars create our community’s endowment; a pool of resources invested for long-term growth, providing ongoing dollars to create positive impact in Pike County now and forever.
