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 amply collective impact for Black communities, women and girls, and youth in Forsyth County.
In addition to offering Community Grants, we’re devoting significant resources toward investments in two critical focus areas for our work in Forsyth County: Building an Inclusive Economy and Advancing Equity in Education.
