The Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro believes philanthropy can play an important role in improving the quality of life and in helping to build an inclusive, caring and vibrant community. Through gifts our donors make that are unrestricted or targeted to a specific field of interest, we are able to fund dozens of community initiatives each year that are helping us make a difference.
Our community grants target strategic areas of interest:
Community Grants Program
The Community Foundation awards community grants from unrestricted and field-of-interest funds, as allocated by the Board of Directors, to support a wide range of community issues.
