Program Areas

Health and Wellness

At the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro, we recognize that health and wellness are foundational components of any thriving community. With that, we recognize that residents must have the opportunity to age with dignity and have access to services that foster health and wellness for the whole person.

Cultural Vibrancy

A culturally vibrant Greensboro is a community where all residents have access to diverse cultural, educational, and natural resources. Our region’s vibrant culture is built upon inclusive community dialogue and civic engagement in its various forms.

Economic Mobility

For residents to become economically mobile, they must have a strong economic foundation.

Applying For Funding

Applicants are encouraged to consult the Greensboro Public Library’s Nonprofit Resource Center and the Guilford Nonprofit Consortium for information on capacity-building efforts for nonprofits to help the design of a grant request.

How to Apply
