The Belk Foundation invests deeply in public education, and we’re committed to supporting programs that produce measurable results for students in North Carolina. Our two key areas of focus, K – 3 achievement and excellent teachers and leaders, have proven over and over again to put children on the track for success. 

We continually seek like-minded partners and invest in programs that support our mission. 

96% of third graders who are reading on grade level will go on to graduate high school—a statistic bolstered largely by excellent teachers, the most important in-school influence on students.
