Originally conceived to become a community foundation, StokesCORE is currently emphasizing development of the underlying social infrastructure of is region on its path to becoming a sustainable community resource.


From 2003 until early 2007 StokesCORE was fostered by participation in Phase I & II of The Duke Endowment's Program for Rural Carolinas. An effective management team of versatile, experienced staff members and advisors has been assembled to accomplish its mission under direction of a committed Executive Board that reflects the breadth of knowledge and interests in Stokes County. Strategic alliances with partner organizations bolster the emerging heritage tourism economy of this historic, rural region.
