Our Story
Founded in 2001 by a dedicated group of philanthropists, the Rye Foundation emerged from a vision to address the pressing needs of children in North Carolina. With a focus on three core areas—Religion, Youth, and Education—the Foundation was established to create a lasting impact on the lives of young people across the state. The name 'Rye' symbolizes this commitment, allowing the mission to take center stage. Since its inception, the Foundation has directed its resources towards projects that not only uplift children but also incorporate a spiritual component, ensuring that every initiative aligns with its core values.
