No one believes in Greensboro like we do.

The Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro is a local, charitable giving organization with a proven history of making a real difference right here in our community. Since our founding in 1983, we have granted over $330 million to hundreds of nonprofits and have received over $440 million in contributions, with total assets in excess of $250 million.

We like to say that CFGG is by, of, and FOR this community. We manage 700 charitable funds for individuals, families, businesses, foundations and nonprofit organizations for a wide variety of community issues and priorities. It is because of all these diverse relationships and variety of issues we fund that uniquely positions us to convene leaders around the most pressing issues in our community. By that, we mean that no one knows Greensboro—or believes in its potential—like we do.

CFGG has a proven history of making a real difference in our community. Whether working with a family to maximize their personal philanthropy or helping start a new nonprofit like Backpack Beginnings or the Guilford Education Alliance, or leading major projects, such as LeBauer Park and the Steven Tanger Center for the Performing Arts, our goal is to simply help everyone have an impact in the community we love. And, we are nimble enough to be able to respond quickly, too, such as our response to the tornado that ripped through East Greensboro in 2018 and COVID-19 in 2020.

From helping you establish your own fund to providing an easy and secure way to donate to existing funds, CFGG ensures your contribution is felt right here in the community.

No dream is too big, and no donation is too small for us to rise to the challenge of helping you realize your vision for a better Greensboro.

Mission

The Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro inspires giving, maximizes opportunities, and strengthens communities for present and future generations.

Vision

The Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro’s vision for our city is a welcoming and thriving place where people work together to enrich the lives of all. We will accomplish this by:

  • Understanding what matters to the community;
  • Being a trusted partner that empowers others;
  • Shepherding successful projects that draw the community together; and
  • Helping diverse donors create impactful gifts.

Our Pledge to the Greater Greensboro Community

To formally recognize our work in diversity, equity and inclusion, in 2018, CFGG adopted a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) statement. “Our communities are diverse. They include people of all ages and abilities, creeds and religions, cultures, ethnicities, gender identities, national origins, races, sexual orientations, and socioeconomic backgrounds. To pursue our mission, we will embrace our diversity, create opportunities for equity, commit ourselves to fairness, and promote inclusion of all people.”

Looking forward, we believe it is important to be intentional on our journey to be the champion of all people in our community and to “walk the walk” – both internally and externally – as stated above. We, therefore, dedicate ourselves to the following guiding principles as stated in CFGG’s Pledge to the Greater Greensboro Community. Please click here to read the Pledge in full.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

A community foundation is a tax-exempt public charity that manages a group of funds established by individuals, families, businesses, and organizations. The foundation makes grants from these funds for the long-term benefit of the community.

The Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro offers great flexibility in the kind of fund you establish and in the level of involvement you desire. Donor-advised funds allow you to be actively involved in deciding how your gift is used. Community Grantmaking Funds leave those decisions to the Foundation’s program experts, who determine how best to use your gift to respond to the community’s needs. Regardless the level of involvement you choose, you can target your fund to support a particular interest, scholarship, nonprofit organization, or cause.

Minimums can vary by the type of fund you choose to open. For more information about establishing a fund, Contact Phelps

The overall, long-term investment objective of the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro is to achieve an annualized total return through appreciation and income (net of investment management fees and expenses) that is greater than the rate of inflation (as measured by the broad, domestic Consumer Price Index) plus 5%, which protects fund assets against inflation. In other words, today’s endowment contributions will be prudently invested, provide an annual funding stream, and at a minimum maintain purchasing power in perpetuity.

Our Investment Committee works with an independent investment advisor, the Funds Evaluation Group (FEG), for investment management and oversight of our portfolio. For details about how funds are invested, Investment Management & Options or contact Jackie.

For a full list of our funds, please download our most recent annual report.

Grants awarded through funds at the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro must be made to organizations with official 501(c)(3) or similar status.

For donor-advised funds, grants recommendations can be made at any time. You submit a grant recommendation form. We verify the charity’s nonprofit status and make the gift on your behalf. Grants from our grantmaking programs are made throughout the year, generally within 10 days of recommendation.

Absolutely! This is core to what we do. The Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro’s professional grantmaking staff is available to help you with grantmaking decisions.

Yes. The grantee will be notified of your wish to remain anonymous and any acknowledgment of your gift will be forwarded to you through us.

Yes, donor-advised fundholders can name a successor advisor.

Unfortunately, you cannot use a donor-advised fund to fulfill a pledge for which you have made a prior commitment. When you contribute cash or property to the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro to establish a donor-advised fund, you are entitled to a charitable deduction. If you then used the fund to fulfill a pledge, you will be deemed to have received a personal benefit, which is your release from your obligation to fulfill your pledge.
