What We Do

“Generosity Impacting Generations”

Purpose

The Cale Community Foundation will serve as the financial development organization that will strengthen the financial health of Camp Cale, a non-profit institution. The foundation was created exclusively for charitable purposes under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or corresponding section of any future federal tax code. The Cale Community Foundation will provide structure and accountability so Camp Cale can continue its pursuit to build community in Northeast North Carolina.

Our Mission

The mission of the Foundation is to:

- educate the general public about the mission and activities of Camp Cale

- recruit continuing support for Camp Cale

- provide scholarships for campers

- and partner with the community to help Camp Cale grow to its fullest potential.

Our Vision

The vision of the Foundation is to help Camp Cale grow to become a premiere camp and conference center on the East Coast of the United States.

Present:

The Cale Community Foundation is a fundraising mechanism for Camp Cale to improve the infrastructure and overall quality of camp. 100% of the Foundation’s total time will be spent on securing financial stability for Camp Cale. The Foundation, composed of Officers and Board Members, will raise money to build new facilities so Cale can offer more services on campus (ex. dining hall, gymnasium, family style housing, etc.) The foundation will also generate funds for camper scholarships, which make summer camp available to children who would not be able to participate without financial aid. The Cale Community Foundation will also fundraise for new programs and activities, which are commonly used to promote leadership training and team building skills.

Future:

The Cale Community Foundation will raise money by forming partnerships with individuals and businesses that align with Camp Cale’s pursuit to build community in Northeast North Carolina. The Foundation may hold in person fundraisers, online campaigns, and mailings to generate funds for Camp Cale.

The Foundation will enable Cale to reach the community with an engaging program that is safe, effective, and meets the changing rules and regulations of a residential camp. Having a Foundation will allow the Cale staff to focus their attention on daily operations instead of necessary fundraising needs. The Cale Community Foundation will help keep the cost of camp lower at Cale than comparable camps. Lower price points are very important to ensure Camp Cale can provide enriching experiences for campers from all walks of life.
