About Big Rock Foundation

Big Rock Foundation Inc repeatedly backs a cluster of Eastern North Carolina nonprofits that tie into health care access, youth programs, food support, and community facilities. One of the clearest signals is its multi-year support for Carteret Health Care Foundation, including $25,000 in 2024 for a medical mobile unit and $25,000 in 2025 for a mobile dental clinic van. The foundation also returned to Boys & Girls Club of Coastal Carolina with $35,000 in 2024 for daily operations and maintenance and another $35,000 in 2025 for a gym floor refurbishment, showing a willingness to support both operating needs and physical improvements. Other recurring grants have gone to Broad Street Clinic, Martha’s Mission, Eastern Carolina Council BSA, and NC Symphony Carteret County. Across the recent grants list, the pattern is practical and local: funds often underwrite equipment, production costs, emergency assistance, or building work for organizations serving coastal and rural communities in North Carolina.
