Since our community's earliest days, nonprofits and community groups have been essential partners in building a stronger Winston-Salem. We offer grantmaking programs to support projects that enhance the lives of all our residents, made possible by community members who support flexible grantmaking funds.
Across all our work, we prioritize funding in four key areas: building an inclusive economy, advancing equity in education, expanding access to housing, and fostering civic engagement and inclusion. Learn more >
Please note: we only invest in organizations serving Forsyth County, North Carolina.
The Foundation makes Community Grants to a wide variety of charitable organizations serving greater Forsyth County, in areas including community development, the arts, health, education, human services, and beyond.
The Foundation’s three Strategic Initiatives—the Black Philanthropy Initiative (BPI), The Women’s Fund of Winston-Salem, and Youth Grantmakers in Action (YGA)—are led by community volunteers and work to amplify collective impact for Black communities, women and girls, and youth in Forsyth County.
