All In For Our Schools
Nonprofits, foundations, business leaders, faith organizations, and advocates across Forsyth County, including The Winston-Salem Foundation, have formed an Education Collaborative to meet the most pressing needs in our schools and provide a centralized hub for giving and engaging.
Together, we've launched a website, AllInForOurSchools.org, to serve as a coordinated community hub for donation opportunities specific to identified and immediate needs, while evaluating longer-term solutions. In the coming weeks, more information will be added about other community efforts across Forsyth County that are mobilizing people, money, supplies, advocacy, and partnerships in benefit of our schools.
Advancing Forsyth Together
Forsyth County stands at a pivotal moment—facing real challenges, but also extraordinary opportunities for collaboration. By moving forward through connection and listening deeply, we can embrace change with confidence, knowing our mission is to adapt and learn for the betterment of our community.
A community-powered promise is at the heart of The Winston-Salem Foundation’s 2025–2030 Strategic Direction—keeping us focused on our goals, acting decisively, and investing in a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
