Please help us continue to build on the work we have done in 2024, by joining one of our 2025 Annual Giving Circles. Donations can be done monthly, quarterly or all at once. Annual Giving support to the Greater Belhaven Foundation provides unrestricted funds to support the full range of programs provided by Greater Belhaven Foundation throughout the year. When you join a GBF Annual Giving Circle, you provide support for community events, maintenance of our infrastructure, improvements in security, beautification enhancements, preservation of our historical elements, and tools to support, attract, and retain new restaurants and businesses in our footprint, and more!
