CarolinaEast Foundation gives $140k to thirteen nonprofits and programs

NEW BERN, N.C. (WITN) - An Eastern Carolina hospital foundation has awarded grants to 13 nonprofits to help support their causes.

The CarolinaEast Foundation hosted a check-passing event for the nonprofits and programs. The checks totaled $140,000 from their second grant cycle of 2023.

“It is a great honor and privilege to be able to support the tremendous work these organizations are doing in our community,” said Katie Giles, chair of the CarolinaEast Foundation Allocations and Disbursement Committee.

The following were the thirteen nonprofits and programs:
