Who We Are
The Catawba Nation Foundation is an independent nonprofit foundation. We fund projects for the Catawba Nation, Cleveland County and the surrounding region, and Native American Tribal Nations and Native organizations located within North Carolina. It is the mission of the Foundation to invest in projects that bridge partnerships, share resources and build unity among diverse groups – because the only way forward is together.
Our Impact
Before the Catawba Nation makes decisions, we consider the impact seven generations into the future. We apply this same approach to partnerships and funding decisions. If we want long-term change, we need to make decisions that improve life long after we are gone.
