The St. James Foundation of North Carolina represents community philanthropy at its best. We invest in our community and change lives by investing in education.
Our endowment is funded by the generous contributions from members of the community and the earnings are distributed through annual grants to educational programs in Brunswick County.
There is no better way to improve the quality of life in Brunswick County and invest in our future than by supporting the St. James Foundation of North Carolina.
Only the beginning of what we can do together!
