    About Elizabeth City Foundation Committee

    A defining feature of Elizabeth City Foundation Committee’s recent giving is its two-track pattern: scholarship support for students in Camden and Pasquotank counties alongside community grants for Elizabeth City area residents. In 2025, the largest recent award went to Wake Forest University for educational support, while other major grants supported local organizations working on basic needs and community services in Elizabeth City. The foundation’s stated purpose is to support worthy causes that improve the lives of Elizabeth City area residents, and its active grant programs reflect that local mandate through both direct community funding and named scholarship funds. Scholarship giving is tied to specific counties and schools. The William K. Wassink Medical Scholarship Fund supports students from Camden or Pasquotank counties who are pursuing pre-medical study or medical school, and the Ray S. Jones Scholarship Fund supports students from the same counties who plan to attend or are attending Wake Forest University, NC State University, or the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Other scholarship funds extend similar college-expense support to students in Camden County and Pasquotank County. Alongside education, the foundation funds community and civic projects that address food security, health and human services, recreation, and unmet educational needs.

    What Elizabeth City Foundation Committee Funds

    Education is a central theme in the foundation’s giving. The largest recent educational grant was $29,100 to Wake Forest University for educational support, and additional education grants went to East Carolina University for $15,250, the University of North Carolina for $10,100, Elizabeth City State University for $5,100, and the College of the Albemarle for $3,500. That mix shows support for both four-year universities and local higher education options. Community health and basic needs also appear throughout the grant list. The foundation gave $20,000 to Community Care Collaborative Albemarle Area United Way for general purposes, $16,500 to American Red Cross for general purposes, and $14,238 to Albemarle Hopeline Inc for general purposes. Its community grant program is described as supporting care of the sick, aged or helpless, improving living conditions, food security, and recreation. Local organizations such as Elizabeth City Habitat for Humanity, Boys & Girls Club of the Albemarle, and Port Discover also received support.
