The Beautification Endowment was created to award grants to support the beautification and maintenance of public areas in Wilmington, New Hanover County, North Carolina.
At present, the Endowment has a balance of $190,259.40. Interest in the amount of $7,010.00 will be available to give out in grants for 2022. We continue to work with the Civic Improvements Committee and the Centennial Committee for future disbursement opportunities. In March 2023, the Beautification Endowment Committee held a raffle for the Endowment to help make up for the lack of fundraising activities in 2021 due to COVID-19. $1,380.00 was raised from that event. Cheryl Hunter was the lucky winner of the beautiful quilt made by CFGC Member Brenda Moore.
