Why an Endowment?

In 2022, HCB received an incredible gift of $10,000 from the Maggie Valley Civic Association. The HCB board determined that this would be a grand opportunity to sustain band music in Haywood County forever!

A few band members and supporters stepped forward with additional funds to secure the first $25,000 needed to establish a HCB endowment with the Community Foundation of Western North Carolina. HCB's initial endowment goal is $50,000 that will eventually grow to an investment of $100,000 within ten years.
