The Northern Piedmont Community Foundation (NPCF) began in December 2000 when nine concerned citizens from Virginia’s Piedmont region were searching for solutions to the charitable needs in Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, and Rappahannock counties. With modest beginnings, our funds have grown to over $40 million in support of local charities, scholarships, and community needs in our Northern Piedmont region.

The Foundation manages a wide variety of funds established by local individuals, families, businesses, or charitable institutions. Through our investment strategies, the returns from these funds are put back into the community through grant cycles, scholarships, and the causes important to the fundholders.

The staff at The Northern Piedmont Community Foundation is committed to building deep bonds with our region’s nonprofit organizations, educating and supporting them in their health as businesses and their resilience in their missions of supporting our most vulnerable. 

We believe that through leadership, stewardship, collaboration, opportunity, community, and responsiveness we are the catalyst for transforming lives and sustaining flourishing communities.
