We have a lot to celebrate! Thirty years ago today, The Community Foundation of the Dan River Region (CFDRR) was officially established. Originally known as the DPC Community Foundation, CFDRR has provided a way for donors to support their philanthropic goals locally through the creation of funds and scholarships.

Help us celebrate by sharing how The Foundation has made a difference in your life.
