Welcome to the Landfall Foundation

Our Mission

The mission of The Landfall Foundation is to provide support to non-profit organizations and schools serving Brunswick, New Hanover and Pender Counties.  Grants are awarded for well defined projects and programs in the areas of Health and Welfare, Education and the Arts through a comprehensive vetting process.

Three annual fundraisers provide the bulk of the funding for the grants, including the Annual Gala, Art Show and Sale, and Holiday Marketplace.

2026 Holiday Marketplace is December 7, 2026

If your holiday shopping has already become a chore, why not give yourself a break and buy a ticket to the Landfall Foundation’s Annual Holiday Marketplace? Shop with purpose. Give with heart.

Now in its 15th year, the Marketplace has become a treasured shopping tradition and a place to buy seasonal gifts, home décor, clothing, jewelry, and unique artisan products from more than 50 vendors.

Highlights include:

  • 21 new vendors

  • Wine Pull and 50/50 Raffle

  • Complimentary hors d’oeuvres and cash ba

Thanks to the generosity of our sponsor, Parkway of Wilmington, 100% of ticket proceeds support local nonprofits through the Landfall Foundation’s grant programs.
