Welcome to the Landfall Foundation

Our Mission

The mission of The Landfall Foundation is to provide support to non-profit organizations and schools serving Brunswick, New Hanover and Pender Counties. Grants are awarded for well defined projects and programs in the areas of Health and Welfare, Education and the Arts through a comprehensive vetting process.

Three annual fundraisers provide the bulk of the funding for the grants, including the Annual Gala, Art Show and Sale, and Holiday Marketplace.

2026 Holiday Marketplace is December 7, 2026
