Who We Are

Making Mount Holly a great place to live, work, shop, and play.

The mission of the Foundation is to advance the health, general well being and prosperity of Mount Holly.
The Mount Holly Community Development Foundation exists for the betterment of our community. Working towards improving economic development, downtown revitalization, and community enhancement, the Foundation strives to maintain the history and uniqueness of our small town while also promoting smart growth with a purpose. The Foundation relies on the support of the entire community. We are not a government entity or a business association, we are a private, nonprofit organization for everyone who loves Mount Holly.

Membership

For many years, the Foundation has counted on the support of citizens and businesses who have joined us as members. In 2017, the Foundation will no longer use a membership model. Why? We want ALL citizens, businesses, civic groups, churches, local government agencies, and nonprofits to be aware of and take part in the important work of the Foundation. We ALL benefit from a vibrant downtown, robust economic development activities, and smart growth. We ALL believe in making Mount Holly a great place to live, work, shop, and play. In other words, the Foundation belongs to ALL! That doesn’t mean we don’t need your financial support. Now, more than ever, we do. The Foundation is focused on a critical strategic plan (click here for a summary) for our community. We cannot carry out this important work without your support.
