Founded in 2007, Women to Women supports, protects, and empowers the more than 40,000 women right here in our own community who struggle daily to put food on the table, to keep themselves and their children safe and healthy, and to lift themselves out of poverty and towards futures of opportunity.
Helping women and girls build brighter futures.
Women to Women is a permanent grantmaking endowment at the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro dedicated to empowering women and children to create healthy families and vibrant communities in Guilford County. Each year this initiative awards high impact grants to programs, organizations, and projects that create a positive and measurable impact on women, their families, and their futures.
Why is this initiative important to our community?
When you invest in women, you invest in stronger, more stable families and communities. You develop more capable workers—people who produce more, save more, and spend more, both now and for years to come. You help raise a generation of healthier kids with brighter futures, and you lower the cost of everything from public safety to social services to health care.
Economic insecurity is central to why many women struggle to provide for themselves and their families. Women to Women changes the lives of women and girls in need or at risk by targeting and funding transformative programs that address complex and overlapping issues in the areas of Hunger, Health, Housing, and Education & Workforce. Through our rigorous grant allocation process, we partner with organizations that provide women and girls a path to meet their potential. We believe positive change begins with one woman, one girl at a time. It begins with each of us.

Thanks to the generosity of individuals, businesses, and foundations, Women to Women has donated over $1 million to programs serving women and girls who are in need or at risk across Guilford County. These programs are transforming lives and improving the well-being of our entire community.
